The Lyceum Commission

For 2026, Mojica has been commissioned to create six original works for the Texas Lyceum — each piece inspired by a quarterly conference theme under the banner "Texas Forward." The paintings will be unveiled at conferences across the state.

The first work in the series is inspired by the Q1 conference in Laredo: "Bridging Borders and Harvesting Opportunities: Food Systems & Economic Impact."
