Rhode Island Latino Arts, founded in 1988 as the Hispanic Heritage Committee, is the leading nonprofit organization in Rhode Island dedicated to promoting and advancing Latino arts. Through their Rhode Island Latino Artists Network events and strategic partnerships with local community organizations, they raise awareness and preserve Latino arts, heritage, and cultures in Rhode Island, while building community pride.
They celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month each year and coordinate the sharing of information and activities to commemorate this important cultural event. Additionally, Rhode Island Latino Arts collects personal stories through the Latino Oral History Project of Rhode Island, celebrates the history of Latino neighborhoods through Barrio Tours, and supports and stimulates artistic activities through the Rhode Island Latino Artists Network. Their online market, La Tiendita La Galería, offers art made and sold by local Latinx artists and artisans.
