Welcome!

We celebrate and promote Latino art & artists through our RI 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 about Latino arts and cultures in Rhode Island and to build community pride.
