A Respected & Impactful

     Voice for 25+ Years     

The National Hispanic Foundation for the Arts is dedicated to uplifting the next generation of Latino artistic talent.  NHFA believes that Art is a bridge to understanding.  Closing the media and tech divide is key to fully integrating Latinos and the digital landscape.

We work to cultivate emerging artists, who are ready and waiting in the wings through graduate school scholarships, screenplay writing programs, high school musical residency programs, workforce development programs and performance opportunities.

NHFA also creates networking opportunities with entertainment, media and tech sectors. 

We lead public education and outreach to raise awareness of the vital contributions that Latino creators make to our shared cultural heritage.

Through these efforts, we strive to ensure that the media, arts and tech reflect the totality of our society and foster a broader and realistic view of the American landscape.
