The fantastic energy and diversity of Latino and Latin American art is celebrated across the nation this year in shows that illuminate cultural history, revere artistic legends, and introduce American audiences to the next generation of important creators from throughout Latin America. From a first-of-its-kind Frida Kahlo exhibit to pre-colonial Andean textiles and modern Argentine neo-kitsch, these ten exhibitions showcase the evolution, power, variety and potential of Latino art.
