The Appalachian Center for the Arts is proud to be hosting this exhibit in our upstairs gallery, now through August 14

The Kentucky Arts Council, in partnership with alDía en América and Casa de la Cultura Kentucky, invited Hispanic, Latinx and Latin American Kentuckians to share their visual art. A panel of Hispanic/Latinx Kentuckians and other cultural specialists selected works to include in this exhibit, which they named Nuestro hogar Kentucky, Our Kentucky Home.
This traveling exhibit will appear in all regions of Kentucky from November 2021 through October 2022. Goals of the exhibit are to share Hispanic/Latin American/Latinx* experiences in the commonwealth today, demonstrate diversity through diverse media, styles and themes and recognize the dynamic expressions these Kentuckians contribute to our cultural landscape.

“We are not all the same, we are a quilt, un manto of diversity.”
– Dr. Jose Gomez-Becerra, professor at Eastern Kentucky University, referring to Hispanic and Latin American people of Kentucky.

* Latinx – gender-neutral form of Latino/Latina
