Looking back at all the exhibitions we curated since we opened our space in Puerto Rico one year ago.
Thank you to all the artists, collectors, collaborators and supporters who have made these exhibitions possible. There’s a lot more in the making!

Honored to be featured in Observer.
The article reflects the roots and evolution of Sabroso!, a collaborative effort by Antonio Del Valle-Lago, Larissa De Jesús Negrón, Hernán Ayala Tirado ( @hayalatirado ) , and Andrea Sofía Matos ( @andreasofiarm )
Together, we curate, collaborate, and advocate for artists while building spaces for new narratives to emerge in Puerto Rico and globally.
Thank you Elisa ( @elisartgal ) for interviewing Larissa and for shining a spotlight on Puerto Rico’s contemporary art scene.
We are proud to celebrate Marisol Ruiz and her participation in El lugar de la morada by Edra Soto at the Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico, alongside invited artists Nora Maité Nieves, Ada del Pilar Ortiz, and Natalia Sánchez. Yesterday, Saturday, May 9, the artists joined Edra Soto for a walkthrough reflecting on their works in dialogue with the exhibition.
We are proud and happy to be working alongside you, Marisol, more to come!
Shoutout to @hermannadal for making a fabulous dress for this occasion!
Siempre Sabroso, Nunca Soso
Visit @museomapr for El lugar de la morada, a new solo exhibition by @edrasoto Soto, opening Friday, May 1 at the Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico.
Spanning the past decade, Soto’s work reframes everyday working-class architecture as a living archive of memory, identity, and resilience, bringing forward the details often overlooked by official narratives.
Curated by Juan Carlos López Quintero, the exhibition is part of Regresos / Homeward Bound and expands with works by Nora Maité Nieves, Ada del Pilar Ortiz, Marisol Ruiz, and Natalia Sánchez, opening a dialogue on urban landscape, belonging, and diaspora.
Congratulations to Marisol Ruiz @mariissuun on her participation. It has been a privilege to work with you and present your work on the island, contributing to a lasting legacy.

Lo que trajo la ola 🌊🍍🧽🏝️ abre hoy, jueves 26 de marzo de 6–10pm en nuestro espacio en 802 Calle Corchado, Santurce — ¡les esperamos!
La exhibición presenta una serie de pinturas de Emmanuel “Emma” Rivera Berrocales que, a partir del lenguaje visual de SpongeBob SquarePants, intervienen imágenes reconocibles con pequeños cambios—su propio “3%”—para explorar memoria, nostalgia y las realidades sociales y políticas del archipiélago puertorriqueño.
We are proud to present ‘Lo que trajo la ola’, a solo exhibition by Emmanuel “Emma” Rivera Berrocales.
Join us for the opening on Thursday, March 26 from 6–10 PM. This exhibition marks Emma’s first solo show with the gallery since our opening in 2025.
Through a series of paintings, Rivera Berrocales explores image, memory, and subtle intervention, drawing from the visual language of SpongeBob SquarePants.
By introducing small alterations and reimagining familiar motifs like water, shells, and sponges, the works evoke nostalgia while opening space for reflection on Puerto Rico’s social, cultural, and political realities.
And simultaneously celebrates our first anniversary as a physical space in 802 Calle Corchado, Santurce. Come share this milestone with us!
We are live!
