Hostos Center for the Arts & Culture is the performing arts center of Hostos Community College (CUNY) in Mott Haven, The Bronx.
Its curation is adventurous. Hostos presents artists you won’t see anywhere else, and tickets are less than in Manhattan.
Hostos Center is not commercial. It’s educational. It’s Hostos!
Hostos Center venues:
- Main Theater (seats 884)
- Repertory Theater (seats 367)
- Longwood Art Gallery
Thank you for sponsoring Latin art, comedy, dance, music, and theatre.

About Hostos Center
Hostos is one of the leading Latin performing arts centers in the Northeast. Curation is excellent. You can see great artists that you won’t see elsewhere, and tickets are cheaper. It’s a great place to see Latin culture because Latin culture is community-oriented, and Hostos Center feels like home.
Eugenio María de Hostos y de Bonilla (1839-1903) was a Puerto Rican scientist, educator and independence advocate who worked for equal rights and education for all people. He didn’t just talk, he built, and is loved across the Latin world.
“I wish that they will say: In that island (Puerto Rico) a man was born who loved truth, desired justice, and worked for the good of men.”
Eugenio Hostos wrote his own epitaph.
Hostos won’t return to Puerto Rico until it is free, so he is buried in the Panteón de la Patria, in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. We went to visit him and just cried, because through Hostos Center, he is part of our DNA too. What a great man.
