On 1982, ujinio Maria de hoes Community College began its cultural and artistic projects, holding a series of concerts and exhibitions on the portable stage of the Grand Plaza gymnasium.
This is an image experiment.
The college is the first bilingual school in the New York City university system.
Hostos mainly serves a poor Hispanic community in South Bronx, where it trains healthcare workers.
\"No one has much hope for cultural projects,\" said Wallace I . \".
Edgecombe, who has been guiding the project since the beginning of the project.
\"They didn\'t expect people to come to South Bronx to enjoy cultural food.
But the arrival and growth of the audience,

To help balance the budget, the theater may be rented out to commercial producers for technical rehearsals between shows.
In the end, internship students can join the professional team.
In the theater, the center plans to stage an ambitious season.
The show partly reflects the demographics of the Bronx and Manhattan, who have established the Puerto Rican and black population, the newer influx of Dominican people, and the recent wave of Central Americans and Mexicans.

\"It\'s easy to find artists because New York is one of the capitals of salsa dance.
But we can\'t do that.
Feed people with merengar and salsa.
There is enough place to execute.
If we do salsa, if we do merengue, we like to turn things around, so it\'s not just about making him famous and getting him on stage.
Our mission is education.
On the calendar, the first season also includes classical music, jazz, traditional music, theater, performing arts and ballet.
Performers come from New York and southern regions including Mexico, Venezuela and Chile, and many deal with the tension and synthesis between the Creole heritage of the Caribbean, local culture and European and American influences.
