Hostos Center for the Arts & Culture, Performing arts center in The Bronx, United States.

The Hostos Center for the Arts & Culture is a performing arts venue in the Bronx with multiple performance spaces of different sizes. It houses a museum-quality art gallery and two theaters with varying capacities for different types of events.

The Hostos Center for the Arts & Culture occupies a building designed by the architectural firm Gwathmey Siegel & Associates, which received the 1988 Excellence in Design Award from the Art Commission of the City of New York for the design. The center has presented theater, dance and music artists for 33 years, with the stated mission "to be a cultural force in the Bronx and throughout the New York metropolitan area."

The center's programming includes the BomPlenazo festival, which celebrates Puerto Rican bomba and plena traditions, along with a repertory company and a children's performing arts series. Its stages have hosted Celia Cruz, Tito Puente, Eddie Palmieri and Marc Anthony, and The New York Times called it "the powerful locus for Latino art" in the Bronx.

The center sits inside Hostos Community College in the South Bronx, with the 884-seat main theater, the 367-seat repertory theater and the art gallery as separate spaces in the same building. Check the center's website before traveling, since programming runs in series and festivals rather than fixed daily hours.

The New York Times called the center "the powerful locus for Latino art" in the Bronx. Its stages and gallery have featured Celia Cruz, Tito Puente, Eddie Palmieri, Rubén Blades and Marc Anthony, alongside Dance Theatre of Harlem and Ballet Hispánico.
