  mission & Vision

  ALAC's Mission
  is the promotion, preservation & education of Latin@ Arts & Culture for the Valley of the Sun.

  ALAC’s priorities are:

  • To initiate a campaign and strategy to create the first Latino Cultural Center in Phoenix.
  • To establish an effective Latin@ arts network for artists, arts organizations, advocates and activists; and offer professional training, communications, capacity- building and technical support. 
  • To advocate for resources, funding, and political and financial empowerment of Latino artists and arts organizations.
  • To provide art resources to Arizona’s educational system.
  • To instill an entrepreneurial ethic and standard of prosperity among Latino artists and art organizations.
  • To foster communication, collaborations, education and understanding between Latino and non Latino artists, art organizations, media, and communities.

ALAC

is a vehicle for its members to advocate for Latino arts statewide. Its collaborative strategy will focus on the concept of “Artnerships,” which connects the needs and desires of the Latino art community with those of art patrons, mainstream art organizations, governments, elected officials, corporations, developers, small businesses, and schools.

ALAC members are dedicated to achieving our goals, and are seeking government, educational, business and non-profit partners who also are committed to showcasing the vast range of cultural diversity that exists in Arizona. A central organization for Latino arts and culture can help nurture tourism to our great cities and state.

This public expression of Latino history and cultural life can help to build pride and a state-wide identity, and enhance appreciation of Arizona’s rich spectrum of heritages. Currently, Latino artists and art organizations in Arizona rank last among the general arts community for state, county and municipal arts funding.

¡HOLA!
