Called the Bienal Fronteriza in Spanish, the presentation is a partnership between the El Paso Museum of Art (EPMA) in El Paso, Texas, and the Museo de Arte de Ciudad Juárez (MACJ) in Juárez, Mexico. Located in neighbouring cities across the US-Mexico border, the two museums are less than a 20-minute drive apart, not accounting for border control traffic.
