If you believe in the power of art and culture to bring people together, and want to support the artists and organizations that make that possible. This experience is for you!

Whether you’re a longtime supporter of Chicago’s arts ecosystem or simply looking for a more meaningful way to experience Mexico City (CDMX), join Chicago Artists Coalition (CAC) and Lit & Luz Festival for a specially curated journey through Mexico City during Lit & Luz Festival CDMX 2027.

Travel alongside fellow arts supporters and culture lovers as we explore CDMX through intimate encounters with artists, private gallery visits, guided tours of historic sites, contemporary art collections, memorable meals, and exclusive experiences.

Throughout the journey, you’ll have opportunities to connect with artists, curators, and audiences in Mexico, meet fellow arts supporters from Chicago, and experience the city through an artistic and community-centered lens. All while you help sustain the work Lit & Luz and Chicago Artists Coalition do to support artists and foster cultural exchange and collaboration between creative communities.
