Overview

Mission

We are a bridge between Austins Latino artists and the resources they need to thrive. We ensure Latino communities have access to cultural programming and resources that inspire and educate and that our vibrant Latino culture remains a cornerstone of Austin. We have organized a Lowrider Car Show in East Austin; an art exhibit and event showcasing Latino artists and performers; implemented Project Connect which partnered Latino Artists with Capital Metro the public transit system in Austin to showcase their art on future metro stations; partnered with Austin FC the local soccer club to organize events and showcase Latino art at their stadium; documented the works we are doing for archive purposes.

What it reported doing in 2024

Community engagement: We foster connection and equity in underserved neighborhoods through year-round programming. This includes bikes via the Little Home Project holiday toy drives through No Hood Left and culturally rooted events that celebrate and preserve Latino heritage. We served over 530 families between both programs.
