News & Opportunities for Individual Creatives in Fairfield County CT

As we transition into the vibrant energy of fall, we’re excited to share the latest updates and opportunities within our community. This month, we also celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, a time to honor the rich cultural contributions and artistic traditions of Hispanic and Latinx communities in Fairfield County and beyond.

How to Celebrate Hispanic Artists, Creatives, and Business Owners:

- Attend Local Art Exhibitions: Support Hispanic and Latinx artists by attending local exhibitions showcasing their work. Many galleries and cultural institutions are featuring special exhibits during Hispanic Heritage Month.

- Feature Hispanic Creatives in Your Networks: Use your platforms to spotlight Hispanic artists, writers, musicians, and performers. Share their work on social media, in newsletters, or through collaborations.

- Shop at Hispanic-Owned Businesses: Show your support by purchasing from Hispanic-owned businesses, from art studios and boutiques to restaurants and service providers. Consider hosting a member spotlight on these businesses.

- Host or Attend Cultural Events: Participate in or organize events that celebrate Hispanic culture, such as film screenings, music performances, or cultural festivals. Invite Hispanic creatives to lead workshops or discussions.

- Commission Hispanic Artists: Consider commissioning local Hispanic artists for projects, whether it’s creating a mural, designing marketing materials, or performing at events. This directly supports their work and brings diverse perspectives to your projects.

These actions not only celebrate the richness of Hispanic culture but also strengthen our commitment to diversity and inclusion.
