About Hostos Center

Hostos is one of the leading Latin performing arts centers in the Northeast. Curation is excellent. You can see great artists that you won’t see elsewhere, and tickets are cheaper. It’s a great place to see Latin culture because Latin culture is community-oriented, and Hostos Center feels like home.

Eugenio María de Hostos y de Bonilla (1839-1903) was a Puerto Rican scientist, educator and independence advocate who worked for equal rights and education for all people. He didn’t just talk, he built, and is loved across the Latin world.

“I wish that they will say: In that island (Puerto Rico) a man was born who loved truth, desired justice, and worked for the good of men.”

Eugenio Hostos wrote his own epitaph. He won’t return to PR until it is free, so he is buried in the National Mausoleum of the Dominican Republic.
