Art has the power to evoke emotion, provide visibility to marginalized communities and even inspire social change throughout the globe. It’s the vehicle that provides an opportunity to examine the depths of our humanity. And while many of us lean on artists to get us through the tough times, in the American public school system, disparities still exist when it comes to who has access to quality arts programs. Covid-19-related budget cuts only exacerbate those disparities as we witness arts and humanities programs disappear from classrooms. Fortunately, our community is full of passionate change-makers who are using their art to inspire future generations—whether they realize it or not. For these Latinx artists, art is not only expression of an individual message, but an opportunity to connect more deeply with their roots and give a voice to their communities.
