A cultural and arts center where artists can share their stories, their art and crafts.The center has had some challenges. However, times have changed. Open door.If youre in downtown area take a visit to center.
Amazing hidden gem in Downtown Phoenix. A must for visitors and locals alike.Filled to the brim with local artists work, the Latino Arts and Cultural Center is tucked back from the street in a nondescript storefront. On my first and only visit a kind man took the time to greet us and point out some of the artwork and goods in the gift shop area. He directed us to follow around the shop and back into the gallery.This place is cavernous. There are so many pieces on display here, all of them unique and moving. Raw talent and unique mediums grace the walls. It even appears as though they have live performances on a stage in one of the rooms.If you are visiting Phoenix, do stop by. If youre a local take a look and bring your friends from out of town!
Beautiful artistry. We follow Pierston Doctor and love his special kind of art. Very different angles and motion in his unusual yet classic nature of his work. We find any excuse to go and buy his work.!!
Great work from local artists and a nice place to shop for unique gifts for any occasion. Definitely a place you could get lost in art and conversation.
I stopped in here to find a gift for my daughter. There is a wide array of products and prices. I was drawn to the art, and appreciated that prints were available in multiple formats and prices so I could choose something that fit my budget and packing restrictions. I chose three mini-canvases and when I checked out, the woman running the store informed me that she was the artist on two pieces and a man she had just been speaking with was the artist of the third! She offered to bring the piece back to him to sign and I gladly accepted. She also told me the story behind another piece, which I loved hearing. ALAC is right by the convention center so if you are in town for a convention this is the perfect place to stop for a gift.
Great organization helping a great cause. Amazing artists creating some spectacular works
My sister and I went to the store and the art is gorgeous.
This store has beautiful items. I went there at 11:14 AM (posted hours are 11AM - 6PM) and it was closed. I waited for a few minutes as I was on my lunch hour but no one ever showed up. Its really disappointing as they do have beautiful artwork.
The shop stays popping
This place has grown tremendously! The art they diaplay is one of a kind, all my kids enjoy coming here and taking in some of the culture. Rich, beautiful, mind blowing. Please keep sharing the talent with us to take in, and inspire others.
Such an amazing place to go to meet artists, look at art, and see the events. The staff is also very friendly!
Delightful surprise in downtown Phoenix. Highly recommended!
Very beautiful place in the heart of downtown Phoenix. Range of artists, mediums, and accessories. It feels a littke crowded in the gift/art shop because of so many things they sell. The gallery space adjacent to the shop is good
Super cool shop in the heart of downtown. Absolutely love the array from local artists.
The ALEC gallery is a total gem! They also do wonderful work in the community and foster emerging artists. Cant wait to see the new show at the First Friday artwalk!
Ive been looking for a place with great art that represents our culture of Mexicanos, and I finally found one! The only downside to this place is that it needs to be bigger for the art that they have.
Went there at the hours they were supposedly open. I needed to work on a personal project, pay for parking, and it cost me time. I received a call a couple hours later be the person who was incharge of opening up the art center. It was an inconvenience and you should follow bussines hours that are listed or have an alternate person that can either leave a note or open and watch the center.
The hours for Friday close are in question...We arrived at 4 information online says 6pm. I will be updating this today.
I went to an art showing here this weekend and i was pretty impressed with the gallery and the support that I saw for the community. I would definitely visit future showings and events here.
I am most unhappy. My husband and I purchased several items at the store, including a crucifix. We asked an artist there, Carlos, to do additional work on the crucifix to transform it into a Spanish crucifix. He agreed. We spent quite a bit of $ at the store. Nearly 6 weeks later? No one will answer the phone, the voice mails are full, Carlos is AWOL, and we have no crucifix. And we already paid for it. What to do? Phone calls dont go through. I am most disappointed.
Beautiful artwork, the customer service wasnt so great. I didnt feel welcomed.
Great downtown location, some awesome artists work, check it out.
Very nice place to see the Hispanic culture!
Good art and events.
Very interesting exhibitions of Mexican and Latino artists
Well worth the visit!
Cute place to visit

Latino Is not a race.. they are Native American mix..
