Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month with 31 Incredible Latinx Artists!
Featuring Freddy Negrete, Lourdes Villagomez, Roberto Lugo, Catalina Estrada & More!
September 15 to October 15 is National Hispanic Heritage Month! Here at The Epicurean Vagabonds, we strongly believe that every month should be a celebration of all cultures (and we hope that our podcasts and our Mid-Week Libations reflect that ethos), but we also wanted to take a moment to celebrate this month with a curated selection of contemporary art created by Latino, Latina, Latinx, Latine and Hispanic artists.1
Below are 31 exceptional artists, one for each day of Hispanic Heritage Month. Take a look at their stunning work, check out their official websites/galleries/shops, and let’s celebrate these artists all year round!

Amazing artists. Three that really jumped out at me were Maria Berrio, especially her depictions of women, Catalina Estrada and her colorful bold paintings of Mexican culture and Lourdes Villagomez whose amazing illustrations are everywhere.
