Don't confuse this gallery with La Galería del Pueblo, located since 2015 at 209 Central Street in Central Falls. This is Rhode Island's first gallery and cultural hub dedicated solely to the exchange of Latino art and art expression.

La Galería hosts monthly Artist MeetUps on the fourth Thursday of every month, which include opportunities for artistic exchange such as poetry readings, script readings, and networking in Spanish, English and/or Spanglish. We also host art exhibitions in our small, intimate, space, featuring local art curated for public viewing.

Lastly, La Galería is also the home of the Latino Oral History Archives and Collections, with a recording space to share oral histories.

Gallery hours are by appointment only.
