Xico Inc
NEA Big Read Partner 2021
About Xico Inc
In 1975, Xicanindio was founded as the premier cultural institution in Arizona, serving Latino and Indigenous artists. Forty-five years later, although our name has changed, our mission remains the same, to nourish a greater appreciation of the cultural and spiritual heritage of the Latinx and Indigenous people of the Americas through the arts.
The community gains access to local artists through exhibitions, activities, and festivals. Annually, Xico reaches over 12,000 individuals.
