La Peña has become a cornerstone of cultural life in central Texas. Its many exhibits feature local artisans and youth, yet it is its annual Toma Mi Corazón silent auction fundraiser and exhibit that is La Peña's signature event showcasing an array of original art and pieces generously donated by artists, community members, and youth of all ages. Funds raised through Toma Mi Corazón help support La Peña's exhibits and community outreach programs.

Renderings of Santa Cecilia: La Patrona de los Músicos. Participating artists will create work culturally inspired by the iconography of Santa Cecilia. Saint Cecilia, a Christian martyr of the 2nd – 3rd century AD, is the patroness of music and musicians. The first music festival in honor of Saint Cecilia was held at Evreux in Normandy in 1570, and since that time she has been honored through music and visual arts events around the world.
