Building on its initial growth, UNARTES is promoting the establishment of a venue for bringing together programs in support of the arts and literature as elements of our nation’s cultural life. La Casa Del Artista y del Escritor, as it will be called, will serve a variety of purposes. Our vision is of a building that in addition to housing the headquarters of UNARTES, will contain an auditorium for musical and theatrical productions, galleries to display works of art, rooms for conferences, master classes and other group instruction, studios for individual projects, a cafeteria, and living space for visiting and homeless artists. In addition to classes, in subjects like traditional crafts and local music, the Center will host conferences and workshops as a way of offsetting the cost of owning and maintaining the facility.
