Art . Community . Connections .

Camino al Arte is a cultural organization that produces events, exhibitions, live performances, providing support to local artists and communities. We bring together artists to create, share, and produce art that, at it’s core, connects and strengthens community bonds.

Since its establishment in 2015, Camino al Arte has curated and produced music concerts, art exhibitions, and performances throughout New York City. Through our dynamic programming, we have fostered collaborations among musicians, visual artists, dancers, choreographers, and DJs who share our passion for serving communities across the city.

Over the years, we expanded our services to include educational trips to Cuba, offering students an opportunity to immerse themselves in the vibrant culture of this country while gaining knowledge of the language, arts and music that is unique to this country.

New in 2024 is our Artist Residency program, a retreat among natural settings, providing an environment conducive to creativity, inspiration and focused work.

Bringing Music to Schools

Camino al Arte provides free music workshops to high school students, teaching Afro-Latinx culture, while also instructing them in playing the diverse music and vibrant sounds of the Caribbean and Americas.
