At Latino Arts Project, we believe art has the power to do more than move the eye — it can move the heart. Our recent project, Obras de Esperanza (“Works of Hope”), was born from that very belief.
This collaboration brought together three extraordinary Latina artists — Viola Delgado, Tina Medina, and Arely Morales— whose work was inspired by the real stories of courageous youth from Children’s Health. Each artist listened, reflected, and translated those experiences into visual language — turning resilience into color, and hope into form.
But Obras de Esperanza was never just about the artwork. It was about what happens when art becomes connection — when creativity meets compassion, and when a community chooses to stand together for something bigger than itself. Through this project, we witnessed how culture and care can intertwine to bring visibility, voice, and healing to stories that matter.
The funds raised through Obras de Esperanza will continue to support programs that nurture creativity and emotional well-being among children and families at Children’s Health. Yet, beyond the financial impact, what remains most powerful is the reminder that art can be an act of empathy — a bridge between those who create and those who overcome.
As we look back on Obras de Esperanza, we carry with us the faces, the stories, and the spirit of everyone who made this possible — from the artists and partners to the guests who shared in this vision of hope.
Because when art and community come together, hope doesn’t just live on the canvas — it lives in all of us. 💛
