Calling All Artists for the 2026 Hispanic Heritage Month Art Exhibit

Submit original artwork celebrating Hispanic heritage, culture, and community by July 31, 2026

Orange County, FL — The Hispanic Heritage Network of Orange County (HHNOC), a nonprofit, volunteer-driven organization founded in 1999 by Orange County Government employees, is seeking submissions from Central Florida artists for its annual Hispanic Heritage Month Art Exhibit.

Held in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, the exhibit highlights the richness, diversity, and cultural contributions of Hispanic communities through visual art. The showcase provides local artists with an opportunity to share their work, gain exposure, and engage the community through creative expression.

This year’s theme, “Unidos, Somos Más” (“Together, We Are More”), celebrates the strength, resilience, and shared experiences that unite Hispanic cultures. Artists are encouraged to explore the theme through original works that reflect identity, heritage, community, and the power of coming together.

Artists of all experience levels, from emerging creatives to established professionals, are invited to submit original works inspired by Hispanic heritage, culture, and traditions.

To apply, artists must submit a completed application form, an artist statement describing their background and artistic journey, and high-resolution images of each artwork being considered for the exhibit.
