TESTIMONIALS
What Our Customers Says
My experience at the ArteLatAm art teaching residency was excellent. I truly enjoyed working with both the Queens and Bronx charter schools—each had its own dynamic, and getting to know the students and making an impact through art was incredibly rewarding.
Jessica Alazraki
Working at ArteLatAm as a graphic designer has been an extremely rewarding experience. The quality of the work and the level of creativity that goes into each project is impressive. The team is highly professional, collaborative and always seeks to innovate and improve.

I was introduced to ArteLatAm by dear curator Graciela Kartofel, when the organization was just starting. There , I met endearing artist friends from all around America. Nowadays, I attend international events and visit new places. Thanks to our permanent online communication.
Mariela Martin
I cannot say enough about how phenomenal it has been working with ArteLatAm. Always professional but more importantly kind, patient, warm and so talented. Our murals have brought new life to our school community and Carlos and Erazo captured our spirit in ways I didn’t even envision at the time.

It has been very pleasant to belong to ArteLatAm because you get to know many artists with their aproaches and personal points of view. Although It is a large organizativo, It has a familiar atmosphere.

Quantic Art: My Experience with ArteLatam, a Platform for Latin American Artists My name is Moyo and I am a quantum artist. Quantic art is a form of art that explores the concepts and phenomena of quantum physics, such as superposition, entanglement, uncertainty, and wave-particle duality, through visual, auditory, or interactive media.
Moyo Lafenachii
ArtLatam is a great initiative, dedicated to promoting and showcasing the diverse and vibrant art of the Latino community. Their exhibitions and events celebrate the rich cultural heritage and artistic talent of Latino artists.
Guido Garaycochea
ArteLatAm provided after school instruction to our kindergarten, first, second, and third grade scholars during the 2024-2025 school year. The instructors were professional, dedicated, and thorough in their work. The resulting artwork was excellent and showed off our scholars' creativity.
Ashish Kapadia
ArteLatam is an essential platform that supports artists from Latin America, focusing on integration, visibility, and development. A valuable resource for regional art.
