A Gathering of Rhode Island Latinx Artists | Our Fall 2019 Meet Up

Our 11th Gathering will be bringing together emerging Latinx artists with experienced artists in an effort to create mentorship opportunities.

RILA's Latinx Artists Mentorship Program is an internship for young Latinx artists, who will be connected with experienced Mentors who will help strengthen their artistic skills. Our first year was open only to visual artists, but we are now expanding it to include Latino percussion/drumming sessions, poetry/spoken word, theatrical performances.

If there is enough interest, we may offer mentorships or workshops in miscellaneous musical instruments (keyboard, guitar) and voice.

For both Mentees and Mentors: We will begin accepting applications on September 1, 2018 for mentorship programs that begin January of 2020. Deadline for submission is
October 12, 2019. Go here to apply ➤

Interested applicants to be either a Mentor or Mentee should plan to attend this RILAN Gathering | Meet Up on Friday, October 4, 2019.

It’s not just our 10th RILAN gathering, but it’s also the 30th Anniversary of RILA. We’re excited to celebrate these accomplishments: The Emerging Visual Artists Program, Teatro Latino | Rhode Island, the addition of a Performing Arts Programs Coordinator, Latino Books Month Coordinator and the relocation of La Galería del Pueblo, the state’s only Latino Gallery and Cultural Center!
10th Gathering of RILAN • Celebrating Los Diez y Los 30! We have a lot to celebrate.
Cultural resistance is a way of reclaiming our humanity and celebrating our work as individuals and the community around us. Cultural resistance can inspire us to own our lives and invest in our communities, while building commUNITY through the arts. It can come in the form of creative and artistic expressions that provides a fun yet meaningful way for people to get involved.

On September 13, 2018, these three Latinx artists will be participating in a cultural resistance hosted by RILA. Each will share personal responses to events and movements happening in Latin America, around the world and in our own back yard. The event is free and open to the Rhode Island arts community. Space is very limited, so be sure to register above to attend.

This is the 7th networking event that RILA has hosted, and it is open to all Latino artists listed on the RILA Latino Artists roster and new artists who wish to sign up and participate.

Artists: You will have an opportunity to have your portraits taken by a professional photographer, so you should come ready for an informal photo shoot.

The purpose of this next gathering is to continue our discussions proposed in the 5th and more recent gathering on September 11, 2014 and to take matters one step further! This promises to be a fun an interactive night!

Here are the goals for the night:
Latino artists please come ready to show us what you're made of. You will have five minutes each and we need to know in advance if you want to be on the agenda.

Visual Artists: Bring an art piece and tell us what inspires you when you create.

Performing Artists: Prepare a short performance piece (dance, music, a short monologue or poetry out loud).

Arts administrators of cultural groups and organizations: Tell us your goals, dreams and how we can help with collaborations.

Sign up below if you will be attending and please specify if you will want to be on our agenda on the "comments" section. ▼

You DO NOT have to give a presentation to participate. ALL are welcome!
