In partnership with the succession of Puerto Rican Professor, Haydee Venegas Ávila, the Heriberto Nieves Non-Profit Foundation, and the museum La Neomudéjar, we sponsor an international workshop in Spain for emerging Puerto Rican artists for two (2) months. During the workshop, the artists will have the opportunity to gather inspiration from art exhibitions at the Historical Museum, interact with fellow resident artists, and immerse themselves in the environment of a city warehouse in Madrid and the countryside of Karstica, Cañada del Hoyo, Spain. The selected Puerto Rican artist will showcase their art at the historic headquarters of the Neomudéjar Museum, becoming ambassadors of our rich cultural heritage.
