DECATUR, Ga. — Placita Latina is celebrating the closing of its Latinx artists' exhibition with a special reception on Friday. 

The Rooted in Our Latinx Heritage exhibition has been on display inside the Decatur Arts Alliance Gallery all month long in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, which takes place from Sept. 15 to Oct. 15. 

It's the third year for the program. Placita Latina has partnered with the Decatur Arts Alliance to showcase the works of Latinx artists from various backgrounds, experiences and art styles. 

This year, seven artists are being featured for their work -- representing seven Latin American countries: 

"Each brings their unique Latinx experience into their work, and holds an important place in our American story," Placita Latina wrote on its website. 

On Friday, the artists' reception will take place from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. There will be entertainment, refreshments and an outdoor mini-market. Plus, you'll be able to hear from each of the artists about their masterpieces.
