Spanish + Art = Summer fun! A bilingual camp where kids explore language, creativity, and culture through hands-on activities.
The Little Bilingual Artists is a community-based program for children ages 4–9 that fosters early Spanish language learning through visual arts, music, movement, culinary arts, and storytelling. By combining bilingual education and the arts, the program encourages creativity, cultural awareness, and confidence from an early age.
Our three weeks program is focused on awakening their interest in the language, helping them become familiar with the sounds of Spanish, and giving them a cultural and linguistic foundation that will motivate them to continue learning. It is an opportunity for children to explore the language in a fun and meaningful way, developing a positive connection to Spanish that can be the beginning of deeper learning in the future.
All of our teachers are native Spanish speakers, from Argentina, Peru, Mexico, Puerto Rico, and Spain.

Join us for the "La lotería Niuyorkina: An exploration of the city's Linguistic Landscape," an event launching an educational board game La lotería Niuyorkina (bingo-like) created by a LAILaC student, Diana Higuera, alongside the illustrations of a Queens College junior student, Mateo Oldenburg. This pedagogical game/toolkit is available and accessible to all as an Open Educational Resource and was originally funded by the CUNY Adjunct Incubator Award in 2025, and developed for Spanish and Latinx studies adjunct instructors who juggle teaching multiple classes in the CUNY system.

The event will have four parts:
Interactive Gallery: a walk-up gallery of artworks and prints from the game
Presentation: a presentation of the game and the creative process of making it, as well as educational resources, including 5 lesson plans to use the game in Spanish, Spanish for heritage Speakers, and Latinx Studies courses
Game time!: we will collectively play a round the game together
