The community is celebrating one of its most vibrant communities with a new art exhibit.
To coincide with Hispanic Heritage Month from the middle of September to the middle of October, Latin and Chicano-American artists across Arizona are sharing their talent, stories and culture in this year’s annual “IMPRINT: Viva La Cultura” art exhibit in Surprise.
The city and the West Valley Arts Council are teaming up to celebrate the month but in two locations simultaneously. The group exhibit has already opened in the gallery at Surprise City Hall, 16000 N. Civic Center Drive, and will soon extend into the Arts HQ Gallery next door.

The community is celebrating one of its most vibrant communities with a new art exhibit.
To coincide with Hispanic Heritage Month from the middle of September to the middle of October, Latin and Chicano-American artists across Arizona are sharing their talent, stories and culture in this year’s annual “IMPRINT: Viva La Cultura” art exhibit in Surprise.
The city and the West Valley Arts Council are teaming up to celebrate the month but in two locations simultaneously. The group exhibit has already opened in the gallery at Surprise City Hall, 16000 N. Civic Center Drive, and will soon extend into the Arts HQ Gallery next door.
At City Hall, the artwork can be viewed on the first floor from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays through Friday, Nov. 7.
The Arts HQ Gallery, 16126 N. Civic Center Plaza, Suite 102, will display the exhibit from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesdays through Saturdays from Friday, Sept. 19 to Thursday, Oct. 30.
Admission is free, but donations are encouraged.
Opening night at the Arts HQ Gallery will include a reception from 5 to 7 p.m. that will feature a live painter, the Franchesca Flamenco dancers and Puerto Rican Pete’s food truck. Guests will have the opportunity to meet the artists and gain insight into the artwork.
“Opening night is always such a fun and engaging way to see the artwork,” WVAC Executive Director Kathy Knecht said. “Meeting the artists brings added meaning to every piece. This show has so much color and energy, whether you come to opening night or visit another day. We are proud to offer this showcase of moving artwork to the people of the West Valley.”
The gallery’s gift shop features keepsakes of jewelry, pottery, small original artwork and prints, and most of the exhibited art is for sale to support local artists.
