From September 15 to October 15 each year, the United States celebrates the country’s Latinx people. Latinx artists are among the many creatives who have contributed and are contributing to the US’s rich cultural and artistic past, present, and future. Over the course of the month, ARTnews will publish a series of articles highlighting their achievements.

Though the month is officially called National Hispanic Heritage Month, ARTnews has opted instead to call it Latinx Heritage Month to conform with its in-house style, which is to refer to people of Latin American descent living in the United States as US Latinx.
