We began our journey in the conference room of the Arizona Commission on the Arts in Phoenix. Over 45 individual Hispanic artists and arts organizations gathered for a historic meeting to create a consortium to envision a Latino Cultural Center and Latino arts initiatives.

Some of these community-based Latino arts organizations have provided diverse programs, festivals, performances,  art shows, murals, dance and theater serving adults, youth and schools for over 20 years. However, the majority of these groups have no offices, production facilities or full-time paid staff members.  

Out of that initial and subsequent monthly meetings grew a membership of professional individuals and organizations dedicated to creating a collective voice on behalf of the Latino arts community, its supporters and the public it serves.   

ALAC’s primary strategy is the creation of innovative, collaborative Artnerships. The ALAC Board of Direcotrs and members will catalyze all their resources to forge the partnerships necessary to successfully connect arts, entrepreneurship and technology to energize art expressions and enhance  the state’s quality of life.
