About

Galería De La Raza

Founded in 1970, Galería de la Raza | Studio 24 is a non-profit dedicated to promoting Xicane/Latine art and culture. Our “creative place keeping” ethos is rooted in social inclusion and justice, where community arts are central to navigating the complex intersection of urban development, social inequality, affordable housing, and the historical-cultural legacies of communities of color. To implement our mission, the Galería supports Latine artists in the visual, literary, media, and performing art fields whose works explore new aesthetic possibilities for socially committed art.
