🌟 Big News: We Are Officially a 501(c)(3) Nonprofit! 🌟
The Mississippi Latinx Art Association (MLAA) has reached a massive milestone—we are officially a 501(c)(3) charity! This means your support can now go further than ever in helping us champion Latinx artists across the state.
________________________________________
🎨 Since we first opened our doors, we’ve been on a bold mission to bring the vibrant colors, rich traditions, and diverse talent of the Latinx community to the very forefront of the Mississippi art scene. From our award-winning gallery, Nuestro Arte, to statewide cultural projects, we are transforming the local landscape one masterpiece at a time.
✨ Why Sponsor Our Cause?
When you donate to the MLAA, you aren't just supporting a gallery; you are investing in a movement:
• Award-Winning Excellence: in 2025 Our gallery was honored with the "Promoters of the Arts" Award and voted 2nd Best Art Gallery in the Pine Belt!
• Statewide Visibility: Our founders’ artwork will be featured in Mississippi Welcome Centers across the state.
• Historical Legacy: We are working with the University of Mississippi to archive oral histories of Southern Latinx artists for the "Southern Latinx Artist Archive."
• Trailblazing Events: We hosted the state’s first-ever Day of the Dead Parade in 2025!
• Free Education: We provide free public workshops on topics such as "Spirit Dolls" and "Folkloric Traditions" to keep our heritage alive.
🙌 Help Us Keep Growing!
Your tax-deductible donations allow us to keep our workshops free, our gallery doors open, and our community thriving. Join us as we celebrate history, tradition, and art in the heart of Hattiesburg!
