Miami, FL – January 24, 2019 – Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) and ArtCenter/South Florida introduced the first-ever Latinx Art Sessions from January 24-25, 2019. Free and open to the public, this two-day future-focused discussion program —connecting artists, industry leaders, and the greater Miami art scene— explores the impact that Latinx art is having on the national landscape and how greater research and academic focus can drive even greater impact.

The series aims to start the conversation about Latinx art by connecting artists and art industry leaders to advance the Latinx art dialogue in Miami, a young city at the crossroads of the Americas. The program will develop original scholarship and research on the subject as Latinx continues to gain momentum nationwide, and enhance the visibility of US Latinx artists in public exhibitions, public art spaces, private, and institutional collections and academia. The Latinx Art Sessions are a future-oriented call to action and a platform for conversation for heightened visibility, solidarity, and access to mobility within the field.
