Product Description
With more than 600 full-color images, this book celebrates the art organizations that have promoted Mexican American art and served as art education centers for their communities. Their efforts have produced a significant body of collectible works that inspire through their artistry. Vividly showcasing many of these works on generously sized pages, this coffee-table book is the fourth volume in the series that began with the award-winning Contemporary Chicana and Chicano Art: Artists, Works, Culture, and Education.
