The Bridges Group has always been about bringing Members together to learn more about the differences and similarities between people.

Please join the Diversity & Inclusion Bridges Group for an evening hosted by the St. Louis Art Museum (SLAM) for the last evening of the MUNDO art exhibit.

Inspired by the exhibition Art and Imagination in Spanish America, 1500–1800: Highlights from LACMA’s Collection, explore how cultures from all over the world (ormundo) have shared, combined, and influenced each other over time. 

This exhibition features more than 100 works drawn from the Los Angeles County Museum of Art’s notable collection of Spanish colonial art, which has largely been formed in the last fifteen years. The paintings, sculptures, and decorative arts on view underscore the generative power of Spanish America and its central position as a global crossroads.
