Sala

Beautiful place and wonderful art exhibits. Nice small book selection for purchase.

I was in town visiting . Went to the website to see the times they were open. The website said they were open. I get there they weren’t ! The location was very unsettling and my uber already left. Please update your times on your website. That was a complete waste of time and money !
Eugenio

This is a residential for artists who wish to show their works. Few kiosks with artesanal items and food is served as well. There's live music like tonite. There's a show room with paintings of several artists. Below are some pictures to see. Please enjoy.

Casa Afro is a whole vibe! I’m absolutely taken by the way it’s set up within its surroundings including wonderful architectural elements + murals and mosaics by Celso González and others. Looking forward to returning to this vital Afro-Caribbean cultural space 🫶🏽💜🇵🇷

Despite claiming to be open they have been closed for months. Not sure why they havent updated their info as being permanently closed. It looks like it was very interesting back then but it no longer exists so dont waste time going only to find out it is closed.
