For this research guide, Latin America refers to Mexico, most of Central and South America, the Caribbean, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, and Puerto Rico

This research guide does not represent a comprehensive list of all contemporary Latin American artHighlighted artists were selected using library materials, popular press articles, and museum websites; these sources are included in the reference page. Additionally, while artists are listed alphabetically by medium, this does not signify that this is the sole medium that artist works in; nor are all artistic mediums represented in this guide.
