Villa Victoria Center for the Arts
is a cutting-edge multi-functional community arts center whose mission
is to promote, preserve, and celebrate Latino arts and to create dynamic
cross cultural collaborations.The center offers performances, exhibits
and classes in a variety of art forms, including: Latin jazz, folk
dance and music, poetry, theater and the visual arts. Villa Victoria
Center for the Arts combines our Jorge Hernandez Hall (converted into
a 450-person capacity performance venue from a historic church in
1986) with a new community arts center (historically renovated from
the adjacent parish house in 2003) that includes a gallery, dance
studio and visual arts studio.
Our goals are to
provide high quality and affordable: Arts Education, particularly
for at-risk youth in Villa Victoria; Advocacy, Coordination, Support
and Incubation for Latino artists and arts organizations; Exhibition,
Work, Rehearsal, Performance and Rental Space; and opportunities for
Cross-Cultural Collaboration between Latinos and the rest of the city's
diverse populations. Celebrating Boston's growing diversity, Villa
Victoria Center for the Arts is taking shape as a new landmark in
the city that will transcend Villa Victoria and the Latino community
and become a fixture engraved into the cultural life of Boston as
a whole. Villa Victoria Center for the Arts is a program of Inquilinos Boricuas en Acción
(IBA).
