Latino arts groups call for a cultural home

Front Page Article, March 7, 2009, Arizona Republic

While major Latino museums have sprung up in big cities, including Long Beach, Calif.; Albuquerque; and San Antonio, Phoenix has lagged behind.

An alliance of 12 Arizona arts groups has an ambitious plan to change that.

Advocates for Latin@ Arts and Culture Consortium Inc (ALAC) plan to begin efforts this month to raise $200,000 to open and operate a small Phoenix cultural center later this year. Five years down the road, the group envisions a $10 million facility. "It's kind of embarrassing," said Martin Moreno, who sits on the consortium's board of directors. He said Phoenix needs a center that preserves and nurtures Latino, Chicano and indigenous contributions to the arts.

"Art is that magical bridge that brings people together," Moreno said. "You don't have to understand Picasso's language to understand his work."

Arizona artists & art advocates creating ‘Artnerships’ to empower, promote, and preserve Latino arts & culture

June 29, 2007

We began our journey in the conference room of the Arizona Commission on the Arts in Phoenix. Over 45 individual Hispanic artists and arts organizations gathered for a historic meeting to create a consortium to envision a Latino Cultural Center and Latino arts initiatives.

Some of these community-based Latino arts organizations have provided diverse programs, festivals, performances,  art shows, murals, dance and theater serving adults, youth and schools for over 20 years. However, the majority of these groups have no offices, production facilities or full-time paid staff members.  

Out of that initial and subsequent monthly meetings grew a membership of professional individuals and organizations dedicated to creating a collective voice on behalf of the Latino arts community, its supporters and the public it serves.
