Bronx Museum of Arts. This museum hosts wonderful art programs for schools, allowing students to see a lot of contemporary art. The best part is that it’s all free! The best way to ensure that a work of art is experienced by as many people as possible is to make it accessible to everyone.
Whree did Salsa spread

Describe the Puerto Rica
e Puerto Rican Studies Center. I have met many Puerto Rican friends, and this center conducts research about Puerto Ricans and their experiences in the United States. You can learn a lot about Puerto Rican culture and history here.
Cuban Studies Center
The Cuban Studies Center is also in New York. Many of today’s Cuban artists are still living in their home country, so it’s the Center’s mission to bring Cuban art and culture to people who wouldn’t otherwise get to see it. I have great memories of my visit to Cuba, and this Center is a way to relive that experience while also taking in the amazing Cuban posters and photographs that are on display.
The Dominican Studies Institute
The Dominican Studies Institute is also in New York City. It focuses its research on Dominicans and the Dominican Republic. It has a library, archives, and even hosts art exhibits to showcase the work of Dominicans.
Pablo Picasso
Pablo Picasso is an artist from my home country, Spain. You may be familiar with Picasso’s work already. He was a very talented artist who worked in stage design, sculpture, ceramics, and painting. If that’s not enough, Picasso was also a writer! He wrote both poetry and dramatic plays, but today he is mostly known for his paintings. You may know Picasso as the co-founder of cubism. Cubism is a style which is characterized by single perspective and geometric shapes.
David Alfaro Siquieros
David Alfaro Siquieros is another favorite artist of mine. He was born in Mexico. He painted large outdoor murals on public buildings in Mexico. Although he was an artist, Siquieros fought as a soldier in the Mexican Revolution. After he returned, he continued his art studies and completed dozens of paintings with social and political subjects.
r Fernando Botero
My other favorite artist is Colombian painter Fernando Botero. The people and animals that are the subjects of his paintings and sculptures often appear plump and over-sized, a style which has come to be known as “Boterismo” in his honor.
