Arte Latino Now is an annual art exhibition that seeks to highlight the exciting cultural and artistic contributions of Latinos in the United States. We invite artists who self-define as Latino\/a\/x and live and work in the United States to submit original creative work in their medium of choice. The exhibit is sponsored by the Center for Latino Studies at Queens University of Charlotte in partnership with artist Edwin Gil, the Queens Department of World Languages, and the Queens Department of Art, Design and Music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2021, the exhibition was moved to a virtual platform, thus affording a wider exposure for participating artists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check out all of the Latino artists from around the nation on the Arte Latino Now Facebook page<\/a>. We also hope you enjoy the most recent ARTE LATINO NOW Exhibition, Performance, and Readings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
