Your belief in our mission is what has kept our doors open for almost 40 years. 2018 is a benchmark year for us as we launch El Semillero, a Media and Technology Hub at our Center. The Atlantic recently reported on research conducted on the innovation divide between high and low income families, suggesting that exposure to innovation reaps benefits for those who are not presented with the opportunity, and to the fields of innovation more broadly.
You are most cordially invited to join us a we celebrate the launch of one of the only Latino-led makerspaces in the country, filling a much need gap!

Soul of a City
Photographs by Ryan John Lee
Lee is a photographer/filmmaker based in the Lower East Side. He writes, "The soul of a city is manifested through its inhabitants: the newspaper sellers, subway riders, pavement pounders, and window shoppers. These seemingly banal routines and daily chores are what feed a city's energy and identity." Soul of a City represents a collection of these everyday moments In these photographs, Lee aimed to transform the ordinary into something more magical and highlight the calm within the chaos of the urban landscape.
