LOUD Exhibitions

Micaela Salinas Artist Fellowship

Based on feedback from local Latino artists, LOUD recognized the need for affordable studio space. In response, LOUD established the Micaela Salinas Artist Fellowship, providing temporary free studio space for Latino artists. The 2024 fellowship recipients include visual artists Issis Macias, Chele Ramos, and Richard “R-Lo” Lopez, as well as muralist Rodrigo Carapia, who created an indoor mural during winter.

2025/26 Art Exhibitions

Continue organizing the Latino Art Fair and Day of the Dead Exhibition in 2025 and 2026, highlighting new and emerging artists from across the state.

Partner with the Center for Railroad Photography and Art in Madison to develop a photography exhibition featuring turn-of-the-century images of trains and people from Mexico. LOUD will collaborate with the Mexican Consulate of Milwaukee to provide historical context for the exhibit, launching in Fall 2025.

Expand the Micaela Salinas Fellowship to include not only free temporary studio space for artists working on large-scale canvases and murals but also a small stipend for art supplies.
