What is the Latino Artists Speakers Bureau?
The Latino Artists Speakers Bureau draws inspiration from Latino artists who are willing to share their art and traditions to a wider audience. If you choose to be on the speaker’s bureau, you will allow many local organizations, schools and individuals to contact you to visit their site and help them gain better access to authentic Latin-American art and artists. Artists hired through the directory will have the opportunity to educate new audiences as they bring a Latin American perspective to programs about Rhode Island or New England history and culture, and to perform their music or showcase their art at various venues throughout the state.
While it is not mandatory, it would be helpful if artists listed in the speaker’s bureau are bilingual or can provide their own translation for their services.
There is no fee to be listed in the Speakers Bureau, so If you are interested, be sure to check the appropriate box in the form on the left.
Additional Benefits: By being listed in the Latino Artists Speakers Bureau artists will become a Participating Partner Artist of the RI Latino Arts and eligible to use our 501(c)(3) non-profit status to apply for funding from local foundations. You will also be on a list of artists who will be offered a stipend to participate in some of our events. To qualify, you must be a Latino artist residing in RI and on the Speakers Bureau for at least six (6) months. Contact us for more details.
