From September 15-December 31, the exhibition will feature thirty ritual masks from from all across Mexico, representing eleven states and ten different ethnic groups, from the northwestern state of Sonora to Chiapas in the south.

Public programs held during the exhibit will include workshops and demonstrations by master mask makers from Mexico, documentary films, lectures, and other culturally significant and educational programming.

A free grand opening celebration is set for Tuesday, September 15 from 5 PM-9PM in conjunction with Mexican Independence Day starring Veracruz' Los Cojolites and Sacramento's Rowdy Kate. A very honored guest will be Fidel de la Puente Basabe, master mask maker from Chilpancingo, Guerrero, Mexico. Maestro de la Basabe will give a mask making demonstration and performance. The danza he will perform is only done one day of the year in a competition called 'Masquerade of the Devils' (Mojiganga de los Diablos) in the village of Teloloapan.
