🎨 Our art. Our voice. Our power. 📣

We’re honored to be part of the Latino Community Foundation’s 2025 cohort - an inspiring circle of artists and organizations who are turning creativity into collective power.

In our recent virtual gathering, we shared stories, visions, and energy. What united us? A belief that art is not just expression - it’s transformation.

From murals to movement, from poetry to performance, our fellow partners are using art to amplify truth, spark dialogue, and ignite action in our communities.

✨ And yes - you might even spot former Secretary of Housing under Biden and Presidential hopeful Julián Castro joining us in this beautiful gathering!

This is what happens when culture leads the way.
And we’re just getting started.

We can’t wait to meet in person later this summer in the Bay Area to keep building - with joy, with purpose, and with power. 🔥
