Unidos Inclusivity for a Stronger Nation

Hispanic Heritage Month Art Exhibit Opens at County Museum

Hispanic Heritage Month is being celebrated at the San Bernardino County Museum, Sep. 15 to Oct. 15, 2022 with the exhibit “UNIDOS: Inclusivity for a Stronger Nation.” The theme encourages us to ensure that all voices are represented and welcomed to help build stronger communities and a stronger nation. Organized and curated in partnership with the Inland Empire Latino Art Association, the exhibit features work by eighteen local Inland Empire artists. An opening night reception is scheduled for Thursday, Sep. 15, 2022 from 5 to 7 p.m. and is sponsored by the San Bernardino County Museum Association. Light refreshments and entertainment will be available.

Interim Museum Director David Myers said, “We are excited to host this exhibit of exceptional local artists during Hispanic Heritage Month, and we are excited to once again collaborate with the Inland Empire Latino Art Association. The museum is a space for community interaction with history, and what profound stories these artists share through their works!”

Each year, Americans observe National Hispanic Heritage Month from September 15 to October 15 by celebrating the histories, cultures, and contributions of Hispanic Americans.

The Hispanic Heritage observance began in 1968 as Hispanic Heritage Week under President Lyndon Johnson and was expanded by President Ronald Reagan in 1988 to cover a 30-day period starting on September 15 and ending on October 15. It was enacted into law on August 17, 1988, on the approval of Public Law 100- 402.

The San Bernardino County Museum’s exhibits of regional, cultural and natural history and the Museum’s other exciting events and programs reflect the effort by the Board of Supervisors to achieve the Countywide Vision by celebrating arts, culture, and education in the county, creating quality of life for residents and visitors.
