EASTON, MARYLAND — Academy Art Museum’s exhibition page dates Under the Mexican Sky: A Revolution in Modern Photography from May 23 through Oct. 11, 2026, in the Lederer Gallery at 106 South Street, Easton.

The museum describes more than 50 vintage photographs from a pivotal stretch of artistic exchange between the United States and Mexico in the decades after the Mexican Revolution. American photographers named on the page include Edward Weston, Tina Modotti, and Helen Levitt; international contemporaries listed include Manuel Álvarez Bravo and Henri Cartier-Bresson. The show is presented as part of the museum’s Maryland 250 programming marking the 250th anniversary of American independence, and it asks visitors to read “America” through movement and collaboration across borders — not only inside them.

The organizer’s exhibition page governs titles, dates, and named photographers. The museum’s separate WPA print show is a different gallery run. If you have not walked the Lederer Gallery, the Oct. 11 close is the deadline.
