Latinas Unidas Por El Arte (LUPE Arte) was created out of the need for women artist of color having a space for their works of art in our community. By supporting women artists in their specific preferred medium, we give voice to artists who may not have opportunities readily available to them.  Artists in turn give back to our community teaching in our workshops or teaching in our school district. Women of color are under served in the arts and LUPE Arte is working to change that. Latinas Unidas Por El Arte is now recognized as Austin's incubator for the arts in Austin's future and is recognized simply as LUPE Arte.
