A Unique Artist Tribute

Amplify LatinX has commissioned a sculpture created by artist and 2024 ALX100 Honoree Patiño Vazquez. This one-of-a-kind piece of art symbolizes the unity and strength of our community and how contributions of our ALX100 honorees are interconnected.

Following its unveiling at the Celebración, the sculpture will travel across the state for six months to some of Massachusetts’ most iconic cultural institutions. At the conclusion of the tour, each honoree will receive their piece of the sculpture, which will be engraved with their name and the year of their recognition to serve as a reminder of their individual achievement and their integral role in our community.

Last year’s ALX100 exhibit traveled across the Commonwealth, making stops at prominent institutions such as the Museum of Fine Arts, the Boston Public Library, the Peabody Essex Museum, the Wentworth Institute of Technology, Worcester’s Union Station, the MassLive building in Springfield and the Lawrence Public Library.

About the ALX100 Awards

The ALX100 recognizes exceptional Latine leaders who have demonstrated excellence and have made significant contributions in their respective fields and communities. From unsung heroes to civic leaders to business trailblazers, we celebrate 100 of the brightest Latine changemakers from across the commonwealth.

 

Throughout the year-long ALX100 campaign, Amplify LatinX convenes and celebrates the ALX100 through events, a traveling exhibition, media partnerships, and a limited- edition keepsake book. Together, we celebrate the remarkable accomplishments of our community as a collective.

Our biggest campaign, a season of impact

The ALX100 is both our biggest visibility initiative and fundraising campaign of the year.

It provides vital support for our ongoing initiatives and programs, enabling us to continue our mission of empowering and uplifting the Latine community.

The ALX100 CELEBRACIÓN kicks off a season of celebration of LatinXcellence.

The ALX100 honorees are celebrated at our signature event — the ALX100 Reception — and then are featured in our exhibition that travels to iconic Massachusetts locations. We actively pitch ALX100 honorees for other awards, visibility campaigns, and media opportunities.

Opportunities for Visibility

When Latinx kids don’t see themselves represented on stage or film or television or newspapers or history textbooks, what they’re told is, ‘You don’t matter. But when they see themselves represented, then they are told … ‘You are important. You are authors. You are scientists. You are explorers. You are special. You are leaders. You are respected. You are the reason we are here.’

— John Leguizamo
