We've found a new home in the former Malcolm Grear Designers studios in the Jewelry District, downtown Providence.
We're tentatively calling it la Casa de Cultura, and it will house the Galería del Pueblo, formerly located in Central Falls, along with a flexible space for performances, rehearsals, workshops, and community gatherings. A lower level will accommodate RILA's growing collection of Latino oral histories, photographs, documents, and other historical materials.
We have received the keys to the building, construction of a handicap ramp is nearing completion, and anticipate moving in by December 1, 2026 with a soft opening planned for early 2027.
Stay tuned!

The Story Behind La Galería
A dream becomes reality
Latino Artists Network | 1st Thursday MeetUps
La Galería del Pueblo hosts The Rhode Island Latino Artists Network (RILAN), where we seek to support, promote, and increase public awareness of the richness, beauty, and diversity of Latin American cultures and their roots. We do this by creating networking opportunities to stimulate artistic activities and cultural interaction among Latino artists. First Thursday MeetUps take place at La Galería del Pueblo.

The building that houses La Galería del Pueblo has also housed the Rhode Island Latino History Archival Collections that is based on Nuestras Raíces: Latino Oral History Project of Rhode Island. The collections will be relocated to our new location.
La Galería del Barrio is where we are hosting our current art exhibitions. It is located at 393 Broad Street in Providence.
