October is Hispanic Heritage Month, and the Cleveland Museum of Art invites people to celebrate Latino art, music and culture with an evening of dancing, and mingling this Friday, Oct. 3 during MIX: Viva la Fiesta, in the Ames Family Atrium from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.

DJ Chevi Red kicks the evening off on a high note at 6 p.m.—spinning Latin and R&B music in English and Spanish. At 7 p.m., Sammy DeLeon y Su Orquesta, one of the most recognized Latin bands in Northeast Ohio, performs an irresistible blend of Latin dance music before DJ Chevi Red takes up the beat again to close the evening.

Firelei Baez's Untitled (Plate 36. Vertical and Latitudinal Distribution of Animal Life).Join staff members with CMA’s Studio Go from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. to create colorful fiesta pendant necklaces using markers, stencils, and beads. Themed food and drink items, including cocktails, beer, and wine, are available to purchase from Bon Appétit.

Of course, guests are encouraged throughout the event to view art on display by Latin and Hispanic artists, including Picasso, Dalí, Miró, Margolles, fan favorite Firelei Báez’s Untitled Plate 36. Vertical and Latitudinal Distribution of Animal Life, and Juan Sánchez in the museum’s permanent collection galleries.

Guests can also celebrate Hispanic heritage month by taking self-led tours of Latine and Hispanic artists using CMA’s Art Lens app and through the online collection.
