In a world where art is made from human skulls and bodily fluids, it’s easy to forget that art and spirituality are closely related. As long as there has been religion, there has been an art form that immortalizes it. For example, an exhibition of laminas—or retablos—collects altarpieces that represent traditional Catholic beliefs in 17th-, 18th- and 19th-century Mexican culture. Patrones Celestiales Folk Retablos: Icons From Mexico can be seen from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays through January 26, 2008, in the Latino Cultural Center’s Visual Arts Gallery, 2600 Live Oak St. Admission is free. Call 214-670-3320 or visit dallascityhall.com.
Tuesdays-Saturdays, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Starts: Nov. 29. Continues through Jan. 26, 2007
