A Short Story of Our Inclusive Gala — November 2025
Building the World’s First Inclusive Art Gallery
In November 2025, under the shimmering lights of Mazatlán’s cultural stage, a powerful vision came to life. The Inclusive Gala — a night filled with heart, art, and unity — brought together a community determined to build something historic: the world’s first Inclusive Art Gallery at the Museo de Arte Mazatlán.
What started as a dream to create a space where artists with disabilities can create, learn, exhibit, and sell their art, blossomed into a movement of true inclusion. And on this unforgettable evening, that dream grew stronger than ever.
This year, we were honored to present the Inclusive 2025 Award to Magui Rojas of Gaia Restaurant, a champion of inclusion whose dedication and kindness have uplifted our mission and inspired our community.
Thanks to our extraordinary Committee, whose passion and leadership shaped every detail, the gala became a resounding success. We are equally grateful to the artists who generously donated their remarkable artwork, and to the many volunteers, friends, and family members whose hands and hearts helped make the evening spectacular.
A highlight of the night was the breathtaking performance by Cultura Mazatlán, directed by the acclaimed choreographer and Director Zoila Fernández Fernández, whose artistry filled the room with magic and emotion.
Our deepest appreciation goes to Museo de Arte Mazatlán, Cultura Mazatlán, Unice Murua, Tierra Verde, Tequila Mandala, Grupo Rotario Mazatlan Norte, Ivan Pico from Canacintra, Dra. Ariagna Fernandez, lissy Bernal, Mary Kith, Artista Grafico Visual, Sichem Rizo Alvares, Zoila Fernandez Fernandez, and the wonderful residents of Mazatlán, México, for uniting efforts to make this inclusive gala the most memorable Blue Carpet Event we have ever hosted.
Together, we are building more than a gallery —
we are creating a beacon of opportunity, a home where every artist is valued, and a future where art belongs to everyone.
An Inclusive Art Gallery for all.
A place where every artist, of every ability, can shine.
With appreciation,
