We hope you see you!


Set in an unpretentious ‘old school style’ street level storefront in the heart of Loisaida. Next door to a Dominican Restaurant, across the street from the legendary Adela’s Puerto Rican restaurant, around the corner from a fantastic community garden, and just down the avenue from La Plaza Cultural and the Loisaida Center.


Help us fight the tide of cultural amnesia by celebrating the artistic gifts of our community.
