Laca Projects

Located in Charlotte, North Carolina, USA, LaCa Projects was founded in March 2013 as the first platform in the Southeast dedicated solely to the presentation, development, and promotion of Latin American contemporary art and culture in the United States. The gallery represents a small group of influential emerging and mid-career artists, as well as exhibiting a broader range of works by established and Master artists.
Through its exhibitions, which are rotated every eight to ten weeks, LaCa Projects presents and shares works that broadly exemplify Latin America’s significant, ongoing, and worldwide influence in contemporary art, and offers an engaging, artistic environment for cross-cultural dialogue and education. This effort is particularly important for the region in which LaCa operates, a rapidly-growing and recognized area for the arts and for Latinos.

LaCa also has a steadily-growing international residency program, which provides a housing facility and 3 large-scale individual studios for artists to work on both solo and collective projects in an interdisciplinary environment. The studios are designed to allow artists to create and share new works with the broader community, as well as offer conceptual art projects that may be used for general gallery exhibitions, programs, and art fairs.

LaCa Projects’ expansive facility, with more than 13,000 square feet, allows for dynamic, multi-layered shows and installations, and large-scale events that create more accessible arts experiences. Its commitment to returning its profits to artistic and social causes makes LaCa Projects one of the most unique cultural ventures in the Southeast and a contributor to important social change.
