Raíces Hermosas connected the Latinx community, both seen and hidden, to MAC and to the community at large through art, culturally focused events and art making primarily at MAC.

The project celebrated contemporary expressions of Latinx culture, roots and issues in a guest-curated exhibit of work by local and regional Latinx artists. It included guided school field trips to the gallery and studio during the exhibit attended by 2,700 Lake County students which is about 27% of the county’s student population.

The exhibit was open to the public mid Jan-early June 2024. Videos of each artist discussing their work can be found here. A digital catalog will be available soon with printed editions for each school in Lake County. They will also be available for purchase at the MAC Gallery. All materials were created with English/Spanish translations.

During the exhibit weekend art workshops for adults and families was led by local Latinx artists. Community festivals including a Posadas Party and Food and Fashion Fiesta among others.
