A
few weeks ago, I attended a planning session for the next Latino/a Art Now
conference—slated for the the Fall of 2013 in Washington, D.C. What makes this one special is that it coincides with, and will be tied to, a
special exhibition at the Smithsonian Museum of American Art: Our America: The Latino Presence in American Art.
Latino/a
Art Now is held every two years and the last one took place in Los Angeles, where
“Untitled” by Malaquias Montoya was unveiled, which launched the
Andrés Montoya Poetry Prize Initiative. Below is an
alphabetized gallery of those poets and writers who have stepped to the plate, so far, and have had their picture taken with the print.
The money will help underwrite the
co-publication of colon-ization by
Andrés Montoya, edited by Daniel Chacón, introduced by Sasha Pimentel-Chacón, forthcoming by Bilingual Press. Proceeds from the sale of this print
will also help ensure the long-term sustainability of the Prize AND (this is new): help underwrite a one-day
symposium on Andrés Montoya—upon the publication of the new book. Please consider
becoming a part of this gallery:
