About the Speaker

Jose Hernandez is a multi-disciplinary visual artist that lives in and works out of Central Arkansas. Hernandez was born August 17,1983 in Torreon, Coahuila, Mexico; migrated to Arkansas in the early 90s; is co-founder of the international artists collective Movimiento Hunab-Ku and spearhead of The 7th St Mural project in Little Rock, Arkansas; and is head of Dedicated Visual Art Studio & Gallery in North Little Rock, Arkansas.

Hernandez’s mediums range from mural painting, screen printing, and graphic design to community outreach, and believes that art is a responsibility and not a privilege. Public art is the reflection of our community, our history, and beliefs. In this way we manifest ourselves, we tell our stories, sparking dialogue with our community.
