The Celebrating Hispanic Heritage: Voices Through Visuals exhibition celebrates Hispanic Heritage Month by honoring the rich culture, traditions, resilience, and artistic contributions of Hispanic and Latino communities. Through a diverse range of media and perspectives, the exhibit explores themes such as heritage, migration, family, cultural pride, and transformation. Each work contributes to a visual dialogue that connects past and present while highlighting the evolving narratives of Hispanic communities.
Cuban-American artist F. Lennox Campello is selecting the artist awards for this exhibition. Mr. Campello is a well-known artist, curator, critic and prominent voice in the DMV art scene.
