Osceola County is celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month through art. It’s in public places, so you just have to go out and see it. Osceola Arts is paying its tribute to Hispanic artists with a new visual arts exhibit called “Art Without Borders / Arte Sin Fronteras” through Nov. 6 at its east U.S. 192 location.

This exhibit embraces the diaspora of 50 Hispanic/Latinx artists who have made Florida their home. Osceola Arts understands the importance of bridging the gap between our communities.

Osceola Arts exhibits are always free and open to the public.

Also, as part of the Osceola Arts “Art in Public Places” movement, the work of local artists of Hispanic heritage is displayed on all five floors of Kissimmee City Hall through the end of Hispanic Heritage Month on Oct. 15.

The collection highlights contributions of artists who came from eclectic places like Puerto Rico, Cuba, Mexico, Dominican Republic, Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Chile, Costa Rica, Argentina and other countries in the Caribbean, Central America and South America.
