About
Values & Mission
Up Next Art is the preeminent consortium of display, exhibition, and residency space in the Caribbean for contemporary artists who create with the intention of spreading meaningful and unique messages through art. Featuring artists from across the globe, our goal is to educate people about culture and society through art. Puerto Rico, widely recognized as one of the most culturally rich and creative communities in the world, is visited by millions yearly and is the American hub in the Caribbean. Up Next Art is committed to fighting the widespread oppression that has bifurcated society throughout history and believes that it is a shared priority to re-evaluate our institutions in effort to dismantle prejudice targeted at creatives hailing from uniquely special backgrounds. The time is NOW to celebrate the accomplishments and stories of the incredibly talented creatives that are paving the way toward actionable change around us.
“Art must discover and reveal the beauty which Prejudice and caricature overlaid”
— Dr. Alain Locke
