LATINO ARTS NETWORK OF CALIFORNIA
| |
Spring marks the Latino Arts Network's 15th year since its founding by a small group of committed community centros serving neighborhoods up and down the state. As LAN celebrates our "Quince" this year, it's fitting that we will also award our 15th "LAN Maestro Prize" and commit to continually acknowledging and honoring the talent that exists in our cities. We have only scratched the surface, so we ask that you join us in advocating for more art for more people in our state!
�Hasta Entonces!
