New York Latin American Art Triennial

The New York Latin American Art Triennial is the product of the need to evolve, an art project that was born in 2008 with the Bronx Latin American Art Biennial. From the beginning and under the support of the Bronx Hispanic Festival, the main objective is to stimulate creative work in order to elevate contemporary Latin American art. The purpose of the creation of the NYLAAT was to foster a platform for the exhibition and recognition of Latin American artists inside and outside the United States. The NYLAAT favors an illustrative need that reflects social concerns through art, being a space for discussion, reconfiguration of proposals and trends.

It is an international event that takes place every three years. It consists of multiple large-format exhibitions, which have had the participation of more than 800 artists, conferences and urban interventions. Local and international artists are selected to participate with samples of contemporary productions (paintings, sculpture, photography, performances, installations, videos, interventions on public roads, etc.), which become centers of interest; Due to the fact that they exhibit the most advanced and the most representative of each country, to provoke polemics, discussions, analysis of issues related to the environment, politics, social, immigration, etc. and theoretical debates on contemporary art, which dialogue with the theme generally chosen by curators. The Latin American Art Triennial in New York intends to continue expanding this legacy, investing its extensive experience in projects developed in the Latin American context.
