The Sofia Quintero Art and Culture Center (SQACC) is a non-profit Latino art organization that was founded in 1996. The center was named after Sofia Quintero, the first Latina to be voted into the Toledo Board of Education and elected President of the Board.
To honor her memory and joy of Latino culture after her life was cut short by illness, members of the Mexican-American community founded the center to support the artistic expressions of the local Latino community.
The Sofia Quintero Art & Cultural Center is an inclusive space for neighborhood residents and local artists while bringing awareness about local Latino art, heritage, and culture.
SQACC focuses on preserving Latino culture and community involvement with the help of its partnerships with the local government, organizations, educational institutions, and volunteers.
They strive to give voices to artistic and educational expressions that can both empower and inspire Latina and Latino identities and promote community development and diversity.
During the month of September, $5 from every sale of the limited-edition t-shirt was donated to The Sofia Quintero Art and Culture Center.
