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.

Hostos Center events are sponsored by the Hostos Community College Foundation with funds from the: National Endowment for the Arts, the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council, the Coalition of Theaters of Color, the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Kathleen Hochul and the New York State Legislature, the Howard Gilman Foundation, the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, the Office of New York State Assemblyman José Rivera, and the Office of New York City Councilmember Rafael Salamanca, Jr.
