Upon entering Skylight Studio, an events space in West SoHo, I was greeted by modern Mexican art pulled from the vast FEMSA collection. Some of the artists featured included Ruffino Tamayo, Gerardo Murillo, Carlos Merida, Angel Zerraga and Pedro Coronel.

The food sampling were perfectly paied with the music of Mexican musical icon Eugenia Leon.
