A new permanent pop-up museum called the Latino Arts Project opens in the Design District. The latest venture from entrepreneur and civic leader Jorge Baldor is a sort of next-generation, non-collecting art museum focused on creating community experiences around celebrating the arts and cultures of Central and South America. It’s a strategic initiative of the Latino Center for Leadership Development, which Baldor also founded. He hopes that the museum will bring recognition to the deep roots of Latino art–and encourage cross-cultural communication in the process.
