Lucas Nights: The Art of the Card—Tarot and Lotería was an engaging evening exploring the classic card decks that use imagery to communicate narratives about the human experience.

- A conversation about the history of tarot and Lotería imagery through a panel discussion with former Lucas Museum curator Erin M. Curtis, writer and scholar Gloria Arjona, and artist and tarot reader Marcella Kroll.
- Tarot and Lotería card making
- Live onstage tarot readings
- Lotería games
- Private tarot readings
- Raffles with treats from our Expo Park neighbors
- dublab DJ Wyldeflower
- Food trucks
