On Saturday, September 20, we celebrated the opening of Colores 2025, bringing together artists, art enthusiasts, community members, and local leaders for a memorable evening celebrating Hispanic art and culture.

This annual exhibit, hosted by th Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Montgomery County (HCCMC) in collaboration with, BlackRock Center for the Arts, and the Gaithersburg Germantown Chamber of Commerce, showcased the incredible talent of local Hispanic artists, highlighting the creativity, stories, and diverse perspectives that enrich our community.

The evening provided attendees with the opportunity to admire the artwork and connect directly with the talented artists behind each piece. We are grateful to Joshua Gamma, Gallery Director at BlackRock Center for the Arts, for his thoughtful curation and for creating a beautiful space where these works could shine.

We were honored to welcome community leaders, partners, and supporters who joined us in celebrating the importance of arts and culture in Montgomery County. Their presence reinforced the value of initiatives like Colores in creating spaces where our community’s heritage, creativity, and talent are recognized and celebrated.

The following artists participated in the Colores exhibit this year:

Mita Lazarte – Perú

Juan Pineda – Guatemala

Pilar Ortiz – Colombia

David Zambrano – Ecuador

Thank you to everyone who attended, supported, and contributed to making Colores 2025 another successful celebration of Hispanic art during Hispanic Heritage Month.
