Cultura Amplified: From Art to Product!

Goal: To provide Latine artists, cultural product designers and creators across the generations with the tools and strategies to connect their cultural products to wider audiences.

Audience: Latine artists, cultural product designers and creators across the generations.

Workshop Overview: Luis Fitch will lead a dynamic workshop aimed at helping culturally-focused Latine creators and artists and youth interested in design bridge the gap between creation and reaching wider audiences. The workshop’s objective is to foster pride within the Latine community, educate Latines and the general population about Latine art and culture, and ultimately promote a stronger and more successful community of Latine artists and cultural product designers and creators
