Events & Exhibitions

¡Bienvenidos! The Chicano Humanities and Arts Council (CHAC) is thrilled to unveil our 2026 Exhibition Season, a year-long celebration.

We invite you to experience the heart and soul of Chicana/o/x, Latina/o/x, and other multicultural/multiracial art, where every brushstroke, every sculpture, and every installation tells a story of heritage, hope, and an unyielding passion for life.

Prepare to be inspired by a dynamic collection that honors the trailblazing artists who shaped a movement and spotlights the innovative voices of a new generation, fearlessly pushing creative boundaries.

Don't miss this incredible opportunity to connect with art that moves, challenges, and uplifts, celebrating our shared human experience.
