California State University, Bakersfield will present “Arte De La Gente”  (The Art of the People) through Nov. 16 at the Todd Madigan Gallery.

The free exhibition — which opened Thursday, Oct. 2 — features both traditional and contemporary artwork by Mexican artists from the 20th Century.

There will be 31 pieces from Dr. Richard and Rebecca Zapanta’s private collection.

“As the new director, I wanted to open the fall exhibit with something that I feel the community would both enjoy and benefit from,” said Deanna Heikkinen, interim gallery director at the Todd Madigan Gallery. “In addition, I wanted to provide an outlet where people could learn more about Mexico’s heritage.”

Artists with works on display include: Sacal; Diego Rivera; David Alfaro Siqueiros; Rodolfo Nieto; Jose Luis Cuevas; Vladimir Cora; Raul Anguiano; Leonora Carrington; Rodolfo Morales; and Alfredo Zalce.
