Art is more than just paint on paper or notes played, it represents our experiences and values. Art unites people from diverse backgrounds, transcends language barriers, and creates a shared sense of identity and belonging. It's a bridge that connects us all.
It turns vacant brick and cement spaces into galleries, theaters, and music venues. It transforms our city into a tapestry of cultures; where every brushstroke, every dance step, and every note played represents the artists whose story adds to the richness of our community. What a great night for us all. Happy Hispanic Heritage Month!!

It was such a beautiful surprise to receive the MAVA 2022 Rosemary Franco Bernal Patriotism Award for Potencia Projects. It takes a tribe of resilient individuals to do what we do and we do it together! We love our partnership that we have with them and couldn’t be more proud of the work they are doing in our community. We are truly the blessed ones to have such a flourishing collaboration with our local Veteran HEROES!
