RI Latino Artists Network (RILAN) • Meet Ups

Creating Bridges • Creando Puentes

Congratulations to Domingo Pablo Gutiérrez, who goes by the name Pablo for being selected as RILA's 1st Emerging Latinx Visual Arts Fellow.

Pablo was selected among a list of highly competitive Latinx applicants statewide. The Fellowship provides an award of $2,000 to emerging Latinx artists studying and residing in Rhode Island, a portion of which will go toward school tuition and/or summer courses. One of his selected pieces will made into a poster for an upcoming exhibition of his work at La Galería @RILA, which we will schedule in the Fall of 2022.

To participate, sign up below. ▼

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!
