ORLANDO, Fla. – Orlando is looking to showcase local artists’ work downtown for a Hispanic Heritage Month display at City Hall.
Submissions are open until 11:59 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 25, for an exhibit running from Sept. 17 to Nov. 3 in the Terrace Gallery, the city said in a news release.
Art proposals should be inspired by 2024′s national theme, “Pioneers of Change: Shaping the Future Together,” the release states.
Artists should showcase art pieces of Hispanic trailblazers who have left an indelible mark and made outstanding contributions to the wellbeing, prosperity and visibility of the Hispanic community in the United States.
This year’s art exhibition aims to celebrate Hispanic pioneers, both locally and nationally, who have inspired new generations and demonstrate the spirit of innovation, resilience and unity that defines the Hispanic experience.
