SUPPORT LATIN AMERICAN ART & CULTURE
35 Years of Art, Culture & Community. Your Support Keeps Us Growing.
For 35 years, Museo de las Américas has been a place where art, culture, education, and community come together.
Through exhibitions, educational programs, and cultural experiences, we celebrate the diverse stories and artistic traditions of the Americas while creating opportunities for learning, connection, and creative expression.
This Colorado Gives Day, your contribution helps us continue this work, support emerging artists, empower young leaders, and make art and culture accessible to our community.
OUR IMPACT: ART, EDUCATION & COMMUNITY
Museo is more than a museum. We are a cultural space where people come together to discover, learn, create, and connect.
1. EXHIBITIONS: Celebrating Art & Preserving Stories
We bring Latin American and contemporary art to our community through exhibitions that explore identity, heritage, history, and new perspectives. Our galleries provide a platform for established and emerging artists while creating opportunities for dialogue and cultural exchange.
2. EDUCATION: Inspiring the Next Generation
We believe art is a powerful tool for learning and personal growth. Through programs like our Lxs Jóvenes Leadership Lab, Summer Arts + Culture Camp, bilingual tours, and hands-on workshops, we encourage creativity, critical thinking, cultural awareness, and youth leadership.
3. COMMUNITY: Creating Spaces to Connect
We bring people together through First Friday Art Walks, Día de Muertos celebrations, cultural festivals, Spanish Conversation Club, ConnectArte talks, and community workshops. These experiences celebrate our shared stories and make art and culture accessible to people of all ages and backgrounds.

Mission
Museo De Las Americas is dedicated to educating our community through collecting, preserving, interpreting, and exhibiting the diverse Latin American arts and cultures, from ancient to contemporary, through innovative exhibitions and programming. Our emphasis on Latin American culture allows us to present a rich tapestry of experience and creativity to all visitors.
The museum's mission is not only to preserve art and culture but also to serve as a bridge that connects generations and fosters a dialogue that inspires, educates, and celebrates the roots and traditions of Latin America.
Thanks to the commitment of our collaborators and donors, Museo de las Américas remains a leading institution in promoting Latin American cultural heritage.
Background Statement
Colorado has long been home to a thriving community of Latin American artists, yet mainstream arts organizations in the 70's and 80's did not hold space for Latin American artistry and culture. So in April 1991, a group of dedicated Latino and Hispanic artists and arts administrators got together to create Museo de las Americas, a museum where Latino Art, Culture and History would be put on a pedestal and celebrated for generations to come.
Museo de las Americas opened its doors to the public in April 1992, and has spent the last three decades shining a spotlight on our community’s creative achievements. Each Executive Director brought their own vision and growth goals for Museo, helping build us into who we are today.
