La Raza Artists is a group of Canadian visual artists engaged in cross-cultural collaborations, locally, nationally and internationally. These encounters provide a spark for valuable exchanges and creative explorations. As a collective, the artists come from a diverse range of backgrounds, but all have a common interest in engaging in challenging projects with artists, both in Canada and worldwide. The group uses murals, painting, printmaking, photography and other accessible art forms as ways to engage with artists as well as with their communities.
La Raza Artists are independently supported, responding to initiatives as they arise. Their vision is to use the power of public art and presentations to affirm a humanistic sensibility, focusing on art over rhetoric. Over the past several years, the group has worked on projects in Argentina, Mexico, Croatia and Cuba as well as in various parts of Canada.
