Latino Life
Women in Art: Arte Americas, the largest non-profit Latino cultural center in Central California has opened an exhibition titled "Two Degrees of Separation: An International Sisterhood of Women Artists." The exhibition will be on view through May 22, and is the second stage of a five-year project. The show was originally conceptualized in response to the fact that despite nearly thirty years of the organization's ongoing commitment to uplifting women, it had not presented an exhibition that specifically celebrated the works of women artists. Executive Director Frank Delgado chats with host Graciela Moreno about the exhibit.
