A Living Space of Migration and Belonging
Our Mission
Launched in April 2025, El Consulado has become a gathering place for New Yorkers from every corner of the globe to create, share, and celebrate Venezuelan culture through contemporary art. Our mission is to foster cross-cultural dialogue, resilience, and community building through multidisciplinary arts programs.
For too long, Venezuelan artists in the U.S. have lacked institutional support and consular representation. El Consulado reimagines the consulate not as a bureaucracy, but as a creative magnet—a dynamic platform for the visual arts, performing arts, music, cinematic arts, and interdisciplinary practice.
