Millennium Latino Project (MLP), in partnership with The Galleries at LynnArts, is proud to invite artists to submit work for Unidos Por La Cultura: The First Gen Experience Through Art, a special exhibition celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month. 

This exhibition celebrates the creativity, culture, histories, traditions, and lived experiences of Hispanic and Latine communities through the power of art. We invite artists to share work that reflects personal, cultural, ancestral, or contemporary connections to Hispanic heritage and identity. 

Artists are encouraged to explore themes including—but not limited to—identity, family, migration, language, celebration, resilience, memory, community, joy, struggle, place, food, music, spirituality, and the many ways culture is preserved and passed from one generation to the next. 

The theme is intentionally open. Whether your work is celebratory, reflective, political, historical, abstract, narrative, traditional, or experimental, we welcome authentic interpretations that tell your story. 

All mediums are welcome, including painting, drawing, photography, printmaking, sculpture, ceramics, fiber arts, mixed media, digital art, installation, fashion, illustration, and other visual art forms. 

Throughout the month-long exhibition, Millennium Latino Project will activate the gallery through community programming that brings together artists, entrepreneurs, nonprofits, and residents to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month. The exhibition will feature an Opening Reception to launch the exhibition and a Closing Celebration & Creative Marketplace that highlights local artists and small businesses while creating opportunities for networking, collaboration, and community engagement. 

Whether you are exhibiting for the first time or have years of experience, we encourage you to apply. Our goal is to showcase diverse artistic voices and create an inclusive space where culture, creativity, and community come together.
