Poder Latinx Celebrates Immigrant Heritage Month and Pride with Virtual Art Gallery

Galería de Colores, a Virtual Art Gallery, is part of Poder Latinx’s 2022 voter engagement campaign to engage the Latinx community to vote in the midterm elections

NATIONWIDE - Galería de Colores, modeled after Poder Latinx’s 2020 award-winning virtual art gallery, is a project powered by Poder Latinx’s Votar es Poder campaign that was launched in 2020 to mobilize Latinx voters to get to the polls. 

The gallery will center the work of local Latina/o/x artists centering social justice for our community in order to empower the Latinx community to use their voice and vote in the 2022 midterm elections. The 2022 Virtual Art Gallery, Galería de Colores will integrate Latinx art, music, and culture for an innovative experience. 

The following statement is attributed to Yadira Sanchez, Executive Director of Poder Latinx.

“Poder Latinx is proud to be introducing Galería de Colores to celebrate the beauty of our art and culture and its cross-section with politics. 2022 is a critical year for getting the Latinx vote out and we hope that our exhibits will help encourage the Latinx community to vote in their midterm elections. This tradition of exercising politics through art is long-standing throughout our history, and we look forward to adding more art exhibits to the gallery throughout the 2022 election cycle.”

Galería de Colores will go live on Thursday, June 16th on Poder Latinx’s website- Galería de Colores: Poder Latinx’s Virtual Art Gallery
