During Hispanic Heritage Month, America celebrates the culture and traditions of residents who trace their roots to Spain, Mexico and the Spanish-speaking nations in Central America, South America and the Caribbean. Originally observed in 1968 as Hispanic Heritage Week under President Johnson, it was expanded by President Reagan in 1988 to cover a 30-day period starting on September 15 and ending October 15. September 15 was chosen as the starting date because it was that day in 1821 that five Latin American countries declared their independence: Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. In the 2000 Census, more than 35 million people identified themselves as Hispanic or Latino.

Mission

The mission of The Crossroads Art Center is to exhibit the work of emerging and established artists from the mid-Atlantic region; to promote public awareness and understanding of the concepts of all art forms; and to offer instruction and education in the visual arts.

The Crossroads Art Center has served the Richmond, VA area as a Fine Art and Crafts Gallery for over 8 years. The art center represents over 225 local and regional artists in all types of media. Crossroads is actively involved in the Richmond local artists' community and thereby an important educational and cultural resource for the community. The art center's wide client-base includes private collectors, art consultants, corporate consultants, architects, interior designers as well as business, government and social VIPs.

Our goal is to also continually strive to create an atmosphere conducive to creativity, beauty and the art of self-expression where visitors feel welcomed and at home. You can leisurely stroll around the center, view our art on display and watch our artists at work creating. We look forward to assisting you in purchasing an exceptional piece of art for your home, office or body.
