Latino Art Beat held its annual Miami Latino Art Beat youth in the arts awards this year in collaboration with the Miami Mayors Office and Miami-Dade County Public Schools in honoring and awarding the talented young student winners of this year’s milestone art competition themed “What Hispanic Heritage & Culture Means to Me?” Five art competition winners were honored and recognized along with two film students. The winning high schools were (art): MAS@Zelda Glazer High School, Miami Senior High School, Mast Academy and (film) Doral Academy. This year’s collaborative partners were the Miami-Dade County Public Schools, the Miami Mayors Office, the Miami Hyatt Regency Hotel, and the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau (GMCVB). The exhibit was displayed in the lobby of the Hyatt Regency Hotel where hundreds of people attended the Opening Nite along with the student winners, their teachers and families. Over 1,000 people circulated in the hotel lobby as the 2026 Billboard Latin Music Awards took place the same night at Miami’s James L. Knight Center which is connected to the Hyatt Regency Hotel.
