Celebrating Hispanic Heritage: Voices Through Visuals

Celebrating Hispanic Heritage: Voices Through Visuals is an art exhibition honoring the culture, traditions, resilience, and artistic contributions of Hispanic and Latino communities. Presented during Hispanic Heritage Month, the exhibition brings together diverse media and perspectives exploring heritage, migration, family, cultural pride, and transformation. The works create a visual conversation between the past and present while reflecting the evolving narratives of Hispanic communities.

The exhibition includes artist awards selected by Cuban-American artist F. Lennox Campello, a prominent artist, curator, critic, and voice in the DMV art scene.
