It’s hard to believe, that 2018 marks RILA’s 30th Anniversary!

Five years ago, as Hispanic Heritage Committee celebrated its 25th Anniversary, it was a major turning point in our organization. It was at that time when we completed a strategic plan, that led to a name change for the organization to Rhode Island Latino Arts (RILA). Our mission did not change, but we made some strategic decisions, one of which is to develop stronger relationships with our network of Latino artists by creating the Rhode Island Latino Artists Network (RILAN).
