If you’re in Dallas and have a young artist in the making, or you’re an artist looking to sharpen your business acumen, the Latino Cultural Center is where you should head this summer. According to an announcement by the City of Dallas, free workshops and seminars have been lined up, designed to nurture creativity and professional development for both kids and adults in the community.
Starting May 24, the center runs a “Sunlight & Shadows: Cyanotype Photography Workshop” for kids aged 9–12. Instructed by Ronaldo Bolanos, eager learners will delve into the world of cyanotypes—a form of photography where sunlight is the main developer. Kids can walk away with sun-powered masterpieces by combining art with a pinch of science.
Moreover, the summer camp “Let The Beat Build” promises middle schoolers an unforgettable cultural experience. Partnering with the Latino Cultural Center, the camp covers beat-making, podcasts, digital design, and identity expression. Creative middle schoolers, apply swiftly—spots are limited, and it’s not just a camp; it’s touted as a creative launchpad.
For artists looking to treat their work more like a business, the “Marketing for Artists: Build Your Brand & Grow Your Audience” seminar on June 14 is a must-attend. Led by @brittanyduffin_, attendees will learn key marketing principles to market themselves effectively, define their artistic brand, and leverage digital tools to attract a wider audience.
Potential attendees should act promptly to register for any of these free offerings, as space is limited. Each program is designed to spark creativity and empower aspiring artists and creatives with the business smarts required in today’s digital landscape. Find all the details and registration forms on the Latino Cultural Center’s official webpage.
