About the Exhibition

Scottsdale Public Art is honored to exhibit artworks that are a celebration of the resilience and creativity of Latina artists in Arizona. The identities of these artists are illuminated through their cultural and familial ties—all embodied in the celebration of traditions and ancestral legacies. Here, the term “family” may refer to those who have nurtured them, those they have loved, or those who have already passed on. 

Reflected through modern eyes, the artists of Modern Latina show the importance of these cultural and familial treasures through their creative works. This exhibition also demonstrates how making art is therapeutic and celebratory. The artworks exhibited here reveal the Latina life experience, showing how the personal is also universal. Modern Latina asserts that the power and voice of women is long-lasting and far-reaching throughout time.

Modern Latina: Cultura, Familia y Arte runs through December 31, 2022, at the Civic Center Public Gallery, located inside Scottsdale Civic Center Library. View library hours here.
