Art in Puerto Rico | Discover Puerto Rico
Whether your style is contemporary, classic, urban, or full of history, Puerto Rico has works of art that will inspire you with the island’s distinct interpretation of Caribbean culture.
For a mix of old and new, the Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico in San Juan’s artsy Santurce neighborhood features sculptures, paintings, and articles that date back to the 17th and 18th centuries. The sculpture garden outside the museum rivals the beauty of the works inside, including a koi pond and peaceful, park-like green space in the middle of the city. This museum is as much an architectural masterpiece as it is a collection of art.
A short walk from there is the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo, which should be on a list of must-sees for any art enthusiast visiting the island. Plan for a few hours to explore its modern video installations, mixed-media work, and architecture.
You’ll find another Museo de Arte in the southern city of Ponce as well, which is filled with works from Europe and the Americas. More classical styles live alongside the works of local artists inspired by Spanish, African, and Taíno roots, which imbues every piece with a unique sense of place.
But Puerto Rico’s art goes far beyond the walls of museums. Visitors will stumble across art wherever they go – with hundreds of square feet of murals plastered on bridges, buildings, and even parking spaces. Thought and painted by local and international artists, these urban pieces tell the story of Puerto Rico from different (and colorful) perspectives, brushing on socio-political subjects, as well as transformational. Although Santurce was the original canvas for this movement, the street art trend has taken over the island, with large-scale murals popping up in every corner.
Writer and Broadway star Lin-Manuel Miranda created an 8-chapter series to showcase what makes Puerto Rico unique.
In this episode, he explores the island’s vibrantly diverse art scene – both inside and outside the walls.
Watch the complete series here.
Puerto Rico’s 500+ years of cultural heritage makes it pulse with artistic expression and inspiration. Puerto Rico’s museums are world-renowned, and so is its street art– from murals and sculptures to traditional crafts. Join Lin-Manuel as he shows you that Puerto Rico itself is a huge museum, indoors and outdoors, and the arts take center stage as the island’s biggest export.

A little bit about tea enthusiasts from San Juan Island – TeaTerra
San Juan is a county in the state of Washington, located on the archipelago of the same name between the western coast of the USA and Canadian Vancouver Island. The San Juan archipelago has about 170 islands, of which only seven are inhabited. The second largest (after Orcas) and the most populous island of the archipelago bears the same name – San Juan.
It contains the largest settlement and the administrative center of the district – the city of Friday Harbor. The area of San Juan Island is 142.6 sq. km, population – about 7000 people.
The first European on the island was Gonzalo López de Haro, officer of the 1791 expedition under the command of Francisco de Elisa. De Elisa named the island and the archipelago after his patron Juan Vicente de Guemes Padilla Horcasitas y Aguayo, second Count of Revilla Gigedo, Viceroy of New Spain. The island’s population consisted of Indians, many of whom came only during the salmon season. In 1853, the Hudson’s Bay Company set out to create a sheep farm on San Juan, after which the island began to be developed simultaneously by British North America (the future Canada) and the United States, due to the fact that the border in the Oregon Treaty of 1846 was not precisely defined. In 1859a conflict arose – the so-called War over the pig, or the Episode with the pig, or the War over the pig and potatoes (the reason was the pig of an Irish farmer who ate the potatoes of an American farmer, for which he shot her, after which the high contracting parties did not reached a compromise on compensation).
Things did not come to bloodshed, but this incident prompted the authorities to finally deal with the ownership of the archipelago, which took another thirteen years. As a result, the San Juan Islands went to the United States, but the United States completely abandoned its claims to Vancouver; Canadians, however, were dissatisfied with this outcome, believing that the British crown did not sufficiently protect their interests, and as a result began to seek greater independence in foreign policy matters. The British and American military camps are carefully preserved, turned into a national historical park and are one of the attractions of the island.
Modern San Juan lives on tourism. In addition to the heritage of the Pig War, the island is known for its wild but tidy scenery, great opportunities to watch killer whales migrating, a large number of bald eagles and other large birds, as well as rabbits. Plus a lavender farm, vineyards, a golf course, a sculpture park, a contemporary art museum, and countless campsites.
Ferry and air traffic are active, and during the killer whale season, the number of tourists on the island almost exceeds the number of local residents.
In general, pastoral.
In 2018, the San Juan Gifford couple, Yvonne and Greg, were thinking about what to do in retirement. Being active people, they understood that just sitting and reading books would not be enough for them. The first idea was a vineyard, but wine from grape varieties adapted to local conditions (San Juan has a rather mild maritime climate, but still the forty-eighth parallel is the forty-eighth parallel, and winters here can be too harsh for heat-loving plants), Giffords did not really liked it. They were looking for an alternative that would give them the opportunity to use their land, but at the same time they did not want to spend their whole lives in endless routine work.
They rejected one option after another and finally got to tea. Although tea is native to the subtropics, the success of tea enthusiasts in the Nordic countries convinced Yvonne and Greg that it was worth a try.
And the more they read about tea, the more attractive it looked to them.
In 2019, Nicholas, Yvonne’s favorite horse, died and she decided not to ride anymore. Levada was no longer needed, and its size was ideal for a small tea plantation. And on a slightly higher lot, Greg wanted to set up a Japanese-style garden with cypresses, bamboo, rhododendrons, azaleas, lavender and boxwood, ponds and decorative bridges. But after the Giffords took soil samples and consulted with a specialist, the plans had to be adjusted. The compacted arena in the lowland retained water and turned into a swamp during the spring rains, and the tea bushes need good drainage. Therefore, the plantation and the garden, it was decided to change places.
I really liked the following paragraph of the Giffords’ story: “We went to Hawaii and visited tea farms, joined the American Tea Growers Association and read about tea until our eyes bled. We tested the soil, ordered 800 tea plants, received them, and now we are unstoppable.
” It is curious that “Sochi” and “Super Sochi” appear among the varieties of seedlings. As far as I understood, they were ordered in Georgia. Yvonne and Greg ordered the other part of the seedlings from China and Hawaii.
All work on the farm is detailed in the blog. Looking through it, you can see how the trenches and heaps of earth are gradually turning into a nice well-groomed area. Yvonne is an innovative product developer and promoter with extensive experience in the food industry, but blogging seems to be the territory of Greg’s landscaping hobby. Perhaps Yvonne’s time will come a little later.
The Giffords’ goal is to produce premium tea in an ecosystem that provides a symbiotic and nourishing relationship between tea plants, trees, shrubs and soil micro-organisms. Yvonne and Greg’s farm is completely organic. They even have their own manure, from two Scottish highland cows named Matcha and Oolong, and a horse named Mani. A portion of the profits from the sale of tea (still foreign) San Juan Island Tea is sharing with the Orca Conservancy, a non-profit organization dedicated to protecting killer whales and their habitat.
All of this is so in line with modern trends – this is how it is now customary for chamber agricultural projects to behave if they want to earn the support of a progressive public – which, frankly, is even a little boring. Although I by no means accuse Yvonne and Greg of insincerity…
Giffords hoped to have their first harvest already in 2020, but these bold plans have not been realized yet. There have been no updates to their blog for the past year, except for one general education article and a touching story about attempts to tame cows, and their own tea shop is not yet sold in their online tea store (except for a few author’s blends). In general, the choice there is wide – Chinese, Indian, Ceylon, Nepalese, Japanese teas are presented, but all this is quite simple tea. The San Juan Island Tea Facebook account has a message that the first harvest of San Juan tea is expected in 2022.
