ABOUT ALA

More than a gallery, we’re a project aimed at catapulting emerging Latin American talent into the spotlight, all while modernizing the way the art world operates.

Each of our exhibits has a hybrid digital/physical presence and exclusively stars work by Latin American artists. These can be purchased online or at one of our pop-up events.

Through periodic exhibits, we strive to create opportunities for meaningful dialogue and connection between artists (emerging and mid-career), collectors (new and established), and viewers.

Beyond highlighting art from this region, we bring together Latin American curators, vendors, musicians, and more, turning each exhibit into a celebration by and for the community.

MEET THE FOUNDER

Passionate about both fine art and the social sciences, Amanda holds degrees in politics (BA, the New School), art business (MA, Sotheby’s Institute), and urban governance (MA, Sciences Po Paris).

With prior experience in the French sustainability sector as well as the NY and Miami gallery scenes, Amanda officially launched ALA Projects in March 2024. After encountering a homogenous and exclusive art world, she founded ALA to provide greater visibility for Latin American and diaspora artists, working towards a more accessible and equitable art space.
