Benjamin Muñoz is a Dallas-based multi-disciplinary artist whose practice spans painting, installation, and monumental print making. Muñoz grew up in the vibrant Chicano culture of Corpus Christi, Texas, which boasts the country's largest Day of the Dead celebration, low-riders shows, and unique food culture.

Muñoz attended Del Mar Community College in Corpus Christi for two years before the combination of “a young man’s arrogance” and starting his family. His first big break came when he was awarded the city’s biggest grant to create the exterior of the local arts center. In 2018, he relocated to Dallas.

His work can be found in the public collections of The Mexic-Arte Museum, The National Museum of Mexican Art, The Bernard A. Zuckerman Museum of Art, The Blanton Museum of Art, and extensive private collections, including the largest collection of Latino art in the world belonging to Gilberto Cardenas. Muñoz has been honored with 17 solo exhibitions throughout the United States and was included in Soy de Tejas, a traveling survey of Texas-born Latino artists.

Muñoz's practice has been featured in The Austin Chronicle, D Magazine, The Dallas Morning News, Glasstire, Pressing Matters Magazine, Sightlines Magazine, and Southwest Contemporary, among others. He has also been a guest on local NPR stations and the Hello, Print Friend podcast. He is also the co-founder of Familia Print Shop with Hugo Juarez, Dallas’ only community print center offering access to lithography, etching, woodcut, and screenprint across five presses. Muñoz currently works daily in his West Dallas studio when he is not spending time with his wife and three daughters.
