Dear Artist(s),

You are cordially invited to participate in Latinos Unidos Art exhibition featuring local, youth, & artists from across the country.  The exhibition will be at La Retama Central Library beginning December 6 to January 26. The purpose of this exhibition is to showcase artwork created by Latinx artists depicting what the artist wants.  Artists have artistic freedom! This exhibition will be honoring the artist and their talent. We are all different Latinos and love and respect our heritage, allowing us to produce art in different mediums and content. I look forward to seeing what you submit.  Please feel free to share with others!
