Description
We invite artists to submit work for Chicano, a group exhibition exploring the evolving identity, impact, and influence of Chicano and Hispanic art and culture in the United States. As articulated by Cheech Marin, the term Chicano is not fixed—it is living, generational, and continuously redefined: Like its art, ‘Chicano’ is an evolutionary term. Each generation has as much right to define what a Chicano is as any generation that came before them. One of the main aesthetic characteristics of Chicano is traditional Mexican meets contemporary America. It’s where they meet, influence each other, and create something totally new. Using “Chicano” as the guiding theme, this exhibition will highlight works that reflect cultural identity, heritage, hybridity, resilience, community, and innovation—where tradition and contemporary experience intersect to form something new and vital. Alongside its celebration of Chicano culture, the exhibition uplifts artists from the DFW area and neighboring regions, while remaining open to broader regional voices whose work aligns with the theme.
