At the Carriage House Center for the Arts, one of New York City’s landmarks, The Gabarron Foundation specializes in art exhibitions and various cultural activities. The Carriage House Center for the Arts also serves as a meeting point for people, organizations and governments to promote the exchange of world cultures. This non-profit foundation has been working closely with diverse organizations from America and Europe. The Carriage House Center for the Arts has set out to achieve its Utopian but possible aims. These are: To promote the cultural wealth and identity of both Spain and America, as well as the legacy of those lands and their peoples. Among them, the Spanish language, the mother tongue of 23 countries that unites more than 500 million native-speakers. The main objective of The Carriage House is based on the promotion of Culture, making this multicultural space a reference in the city of New York, a meeting- and educational-point where learning is the cornerstone of freedom for a sustainable society. This exclusive international Center for the Arts is also a place for the interpretation and exchange of contemporary art and culture, as well as an echo chamber for the Spanish land outside its borders and, at the same time, a mirror of the American culture.
