About Us:
Since 2004, Celebrate México Now has been the only independent arts festival spotlighting contemporary Mexico in New York City. Every year, we disrupt the often-narrow definitions of Mexican arts and culture by exploring the way creators are reshaping and reflecting on their identity in the ever-changing global context. As artists constantly face profound uncertainty, we set out to hold a platform to present and remunerate their work. Founded by award-winning curator and producer Claudia Norman, the festival has brought over 500 groundbreaking artists and projects to over 120 of New York’s leading cultural venues across the five boroughs. This citywide partnership network has included The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, New York University and Columbia University, among others.
2023 marks a very special milestone: Our 20th Edition! We are celebrating by offering a program that reflects the rich diversity of Mexican culture, including contemporary Indigenous voices and their connection to ancestral practices, and artists from various regions in Mexico.
