Welcome to the Cuban Art Space of the Center for Cuban Studies! Cuban art is still very little known in the United States, especially that made by artists still living and working in Cuba.

 

The Cuban Art Space project to collect art, photographs and posters from Cuba was born with the Center, but it was not until 1999 that a public gallery space opened as part of the Center.

 

Its goal is to promote the work of Cuban artists and to educate the U.S. public about Cuba’s cultural life.
