Current Projects
Latino Arts in Motion
Latino Arts in Motion celebrates the richness of Latino culture while addressing the lack of support for Latino artists in South Carolina. Through performances and educational components, the program highlights social and economic justice issues, empowering artists and audiences alike, and fostering greater understanding and connection within our diverse communities.
Latino Voices Unleashed
Latino Voices Unleashed: Empowering Our Neighborhoods is a campaign for Latinos across SC to be artistically heard and represented. We encourage Latinos of all demographics to submit a literary work for consideration: poetry, prose, memories, jokes, and everything in between. Join a collection of voices that will showcase the power of Latino impact in our neighborhoods.
Past Projects
La Tropa Theatre Company
What started in 2009 as a Spanish Language Book Club quickly became a theater company, under the content direction of Betsy Newman, a seasoned theater director, and documentarist. From full writing of the pieces to final production, La Tropa has been committed to social causes as well as immigration and bilingual issues.

Latinas Chingonas is an empowering initiative that highlights the strength, leadership, and contributions of remarkable Latina women in South Carolina. These individuals are dedicated to uplifting and advocating for the Latino community across our state, they work in various fields to create lasting change, inspire future generations, and celebrate cultural identity with pride and purpose.

Día de Muertos is an annual cultural program presented by Palmetto Luna Arts in partnership with the Columbia Museum of Art.
