En Route
En Route was an art exhibition composed of emerging Hispanic and Latinx artists at the Fashion Institute of Technology.
They are a group of people who have come together to create a community to achieve
their goals. As young artists, they are still on their lifelong journey of being creators.
Therefore they are "en route."
They are a diverse group of artists, unified in creating space and community at FIT.
They use a variety of mediums to convey their artistic messages, including painting,
photography, and fashion design.
