Colorado Latinos/as to Know & Support
Each month we feature a Colorado-based Latino/a artist or business owner - those that make, do, create, and build. We do this to show our support for independent artists, small businesses, and to celebrate the contribution of Latinos/as to the richness of life in Colorado, the U.S., and beyond.
This new monthly feature is an expansion of our Local Latino/a Artist of the Month feature that began in December 2020. Our original focus on independent artists was exciting and inspiring. Many artists told us that their feature increased their exposure, sales, and/or online following, which is exactly what we hoped would happen. But limiting ourselves to independent artists meant we couldn't include non-traditional artists (like cooks) or those who have a business that supports other artists in Central or South America. It also meant we couldn't learn about, promote, or support the diversity of other Latino/a owned businesses in Colorado. So we paused our monthly artist feature, regrouped, on-boarded a new coordinator, and created a new monthly feature.
Colorado Latinos/as to Know and Support will highlight Colorado-based Latino/a owned businesses and artists. Links to everyone that have been a part of both features can be found below. Local Latino/a Artist of the Month features have individual pages. Colorado Latinos/as to Know and Support have blog pages.
Email maddie@greenladygardens.com if you are interested in being featured or have an artist/business you'd like to suggest. (The door is open to other possibilities as well, should you have an idea.)
