voices to explore the richness of the Latin spirit and culture.
In response to a burgeoning Latin American population on Long

exhibition of Latin American art in which art created by women
and images of women in art heighten awareness of the rich
distinctive ethnic and historic roles played by women,
particularly women’s inextricable connection with sustaining and
nurturing life. The exhibition opens on January 10 and remains
on view through February 28.
Artists represented in Latinas! include Fernando Botero
(Colombia), Ana Maria Martinez (El Salvador), Vik Muniz (Brazil),
