Que es lo que somos?

We are a group of artists trying to create spaces for people like us. We come from different backgrounds, but we all ended up in the Barrio, that place that reminds us of home, where we can find like-minded people gathering around art, music, and other creative practices, sharing stories and adding ingredients to the melting pot that this city is.

We aspire to be a welcoming platform for artists new to New York who have yet to find their place within a creative community. Our goal is to be a launchpad for their passion projects, and to instill the confidence to pursue their dreams. We believe in their talent and are committed to helping them foster self-belief. Our mission is to create inclusive spaces for all of our friends, spaces where they can thrive and feel safe and protected by our community.

Through exhibitions, workshops, and events, we aim to empower our community to discover their artistic potential and make an impact in the current local art scene.

We are Barrio Collective,
