Fondo del Sol Visual Arts Center, founded in 1973, is a non-profit visual arts center in Washington, D.C. It is the second oldest Latino multicultural museum in the United States.[1] The Center, whose focus in the art and cultural heritage of the people of the Americas, is D.C.'s only multilingual museum and offers materials in both English, French, Russian and Spanish.[2] Fondo del Sol is a member of the Dupont-Kalorama Museums Consortium.[3]
The museum is artist run and one of its annual highlights is the June Walk Week, a three-day audio-visual celebration of Hispanic art and culture.[2]
