CENTRO’s Arts & Culture Hub supports both the research process of artistic creators and the production of scholarly research focused on Puerto Rican artistic expression. We partner with Puerto Rican cultural institutions in the archipelago and the diaspora to support the work of Puerto Rican artists through free public programming, artistic residencies, exhibitions, partnerships with other cultural institutions, and artist talks.
We believe that by supporting and promoting the arts, we can not only enrich the lives of individuals within our communities but also contribute to the larger cultural landscape in New York City and beyond.
