About México Now Festival:
México Now Festival (MXNOW) is thrilled to celebrate its 20th anniversary from November 20 to 24 with five nights of music, photography, film, multimedia art, and a community celebration. All events are free to attend with registration and will take place at the festival’s new hub for 2024: Chelsea Factory.
Over the past two decades, MXNOW has provided a pivotal pipeline connecting México and the United States’ arts and culture communities. The festival has presented over 500 artists, in partnership with over 150 venues and cultural institutions from across the five boroughs, to audiences of over tens of thousands of New Yorkers.
Founded in 2004 by award-winning curator and producer Claudia Norman of CN Management, MXNOW is New York City's first and only independent festival spotlighting contemporary Mexican art and culture. To this day, Claudia remains the only major Mexican-born festival director in New York City. Her continuing goal is to share the rich ancient traditions and vital new ideas emerging in Mexico's vibrant arts scene by showcasing Mexican and Mexican-American creators alongside US artists who embrace Mexican culture.
