Welcome! The Rhode Island Latino Arts was founded in 1988 as the Hispanic Heritage Committee and today is Rhode Island’s leading nonprofit organization exclusively dedicated to the promotion, advancement, development and cultivation of Latino arts.
We celebrate and promote Latino art & artists through our Rhode Island Latino Arts Networking events, and each year we coordinate the sharing of information and activities to celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month.
Through strategic partnering with local community organizations, including schools, libraries, museums and senior centers in the most disadvantaged neighborhoods of our urban centers – we ensure our mission’s fulfillment: To raise awareness and preserve Latino arts, heritage and cultures in Rhode Island and to build community pride.

Latino Books Month • RI Latinos Read Each year during the month of May, we encourage schools and libraries to participate in Latino Books Month. Young people can vote for their favorite bilingual book found on our list, and we promote Latino authors and illustrators as role models. We also offer an adult reading challenge.
The first Spanish-English bilingual Rhode Tour app featuring RILA’s Nuestras Raíces was launched in June on 2015. Go here for more details »
