In fact, exhibits across the country from Los Angeles to New York City are paying tribute to Hispanic art and artists well into the new year. Mexican jazz music in New York, kinetic art in Houston and Latin American photography in Phoenix... there's still much so see before the season ends.

So if you haven't yet had a chance to check out some of the country's recent homages to art in Latin America, check out the slideshow below for 10 of the best exhibits that are going on this fall. Let us know how you have celebrated Hispanic Heritage month in the comments section.
