Creative Community Development Center (CEDE)
About CEDE
The Puerto Rico Museum of Art (MAPR) has established the Creative Community Development Center (CEDE) to support, promote, and inspire the artistic production and lives of emerging and established creatives. We contribute to their long-term well-being and sustainability through meaningful experiences that support their careers via innovative programming in professional training, mentorship, peer learning, arts leadership, and intergenerational, equitable, and accessible opportunities. We believe these tools can help the creative community strengthen their practices, building upon existing skills and knowledge.
Offerings from CEDE

At the studio
- It all begins in the artist’s studio. Through an audiovisual series, we introduce artists in the very spaces where they conduct their creative research and produce their artwork. During these intimate visits, artists talk to us about their creative process and their most significant artistic projects.
Mentoring services
- Individualized guidance and advice for the artistic and professional development of artists and creatives.
