About Hostos Center for the Arts & Culture

Named the “the powerful locus of Latino Art” by The New York Times, the Hostos Center is recognized nationally as a leader in Latino and African-based programming. An integral part of Hostos Community College/CUNY, the Center serves as a cultural hub for students, faculty and staff, as well as the greater community at large.

Every year our programming features over 20 performances - from Hip Hop to Latin Jazz, Salsa to Chamber Music, Theater to Film, Dance, and more.

As a dynamic force dedicated to enhancing the cultural and artistic life of the Bronx and New York City, Hostos Center plays a central role in providing accessible programs that celebrate the artistic richness of our communities.

We look forward to welcoming you in person.
