WHO WE ARE
Preserving the Heritage and Culture of Latino and Indigenous Peoples
Founded in 1975, Xico is one of oldest ethnic arts organizations in the United States and is a leading organization promoting Latino and Indigenous culture through art and community engagement. We have a rich network of artists, nearly 50 years of experience, and together with our partners, an active community voice.
Nosotras las Mujeres:
We the Women
Exhibition on display: July 19th - October 4th, 2024
Nosotras las Mujeres is an exhibition that delves into the core of our roots and resilience as women.
We the women act as a bridge between the natural and unnatural world, being the birth of creation.
This studio exists as a space to create and bond through our intuitions and connections to the land. This exhibition explores diverse expressions of identity and memories that weave together our experiences as women.
Through this collaboration, we can honor and uplift women with our art and bring to fruition creations of future inspirations and recollections of past existence into a cultural re-imagination.

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.
