Xico Names Angelina Bravo as New Executive Director!
We are proud to announce that, after an extensive search and a unanimous vote of our Board of Directors, Angelina Bravo has been named Xico’s next Executive Director, beginning January 2026!
A fifth-generation Arizonan, Angelina brings visionary leadership, deep community roots, and a lifelong commitment to advancing Latino and Indigenous voices in Arizona and beyond.
In her own words: “It is a privilege to step into this role with a commitment to tending to the roots of Xico, while expanding our reach to new communities across our state and region.”
Please join us in welcoming Angelina to the Xico family as we begin an inspiring new chapter together!
About Xico
36th Annual Dinner & Art Auction
MēXico - Lindo y Querido
On behalf of the Xico board of directors and staff, we extend our deepest gratitude to those who attended and supported our 36th Annual Dinner & Art Auction on February 24, 2024.
The success of the night far surpassed our expectations, with over 550 attendees and an astounding fundraising achievement of over $446,600 – marking our most successful event to date. The generous purchase of art has played a pivotal role in advancing Xico’s mission to promote and sustain Latino and Indigenous culture through art, as well as to serve and elevate Latino and Indigenous artists.
We eagerly anticipate the pleasure of welcoming you once again in February 2025, as we celebrate Xico’s 50th Anniversary and honor Carmen and Zarco Guerrero as our 2025 Virginia E. Cárdenas Arts Advocate Award Recipients. Your commitment to advancing culture, artists, and community is truly commendable, and we are deeply grateful for your ongoing partnership.
