Prior to the Covid 19 virus, the Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia (MOCA GA) in partnership with the Latin American Association organized the exhibition Celebrating Georgia Artists of Hispanic/Latinx Origin to spotlight significant contributions to contemporary art by 37 talented Georgia artists. We are thrilled to have had approximately 650 artworks submitted by 160 artists from 51 Georgia cities and towns across 27 Georgia counties. While we remain closed, please find below links to images and artists’ information for this exhibition so that you may enjoy this exhibition remotely until the current health crisis subsides.
Cuban-born, Atlanta artist Alexi Torres, in conjunction with MOCA GA Director Annette Cone-Skelton had the difficult task of jurying this highly competitive call. Each juror diligently examined all entries and carefully selected artists to best represent the diversity and expertise inherent in this community.
