Hostos Center for the Arts & Culture

The mission of the Hostos Center for the Arts & Culture is to serve the cultural needs of residents of the South Bronx and similar inner-city communities who do not have the means or the inclination to attend arts events in mid-town Manhattan. In so doing, the Hostos Center strives to create forums in which the cultural heritages of its audiences - especially Latinos and African-Americans - are affirmed and nurtured. Its patrons, however, come from all over the metropolitan area, making the Center an arts institution of regional importance that is enjoyed by diverse and discerning audiences.
