About

The CreArte Expo and Academic Conference takes place September 19-21, 2025, in Brownsville, Texas.

 

The expo is a weekend-long celebration of Latino culture offers the community the opportunity to immerse themselves in art, comics, film, culture and much more. Our festival uniquely emphasizes education. 

 

We also present an academic conference.  The conference will be a scholarly exploration of Latino arts and their profound impact on society.  Artists, educators, academics, and public scholars are submitting proposals which examine various forms of Latino artistic expression.

 

All our events, including the conference, are free to the public, ensuring accessibility for the entire community.
