Artpace is delighted to announce César A. Martínez, a Fall 1997 Artist-in-Residence alum, as our 2026 Artist Honoree. For more than four decades, Martínez has captured the spirit of Mexican American life through his art, building an extraordinary legacy that continues to inspire audiences across the country and around the world.

Join us on December 3 for an intimate evening celebrating César, his remarkable career, and 31 years of Artpace’s International Artist-in-Residence program.

The evening will include cocktails, a seated dinner and program, followed by after-dinner drinks on Artpace’s newly renovated rooftop terrace. Guests will also enjoy a preview of a special tribute exhibition honoring César, opening to the public on December 4, 2026.

Seating is limited.
