CONTACT
Casita Maria is where generations of local residents have found a home away from home—a place to gather, play, create, learn, and grow. It stands as a symbol of resilience, providing vital support in arts, education, and community and youth development.
Casita Maria Center for Arts and Education is more than just a center. It is a beacon of inspiration, igniting passions and nurturing the limitless potential within each individual. With the power of the arts and a grounding in education, we celebrate the strength of our community and create a brighter future together.
EDUCATION
At Casita Maria, young people from grades K-8 are encouraged to become leaders and find their voices through art. No matter what form the art takes, we encourage program participants to explore their interests, and challenge them to express themselves. More than 400 particpants come through our doors each day to learn, explore and develop their talents, and establish a lifelong love of the arts.

CASITA MARIA GALLERY
Casita Maria presents You CAN Sit Here, a multimedia solo exhibition by Bronx native Tiffany ‘Tiff McFierce’ McPherson. The exhibition will be on view from Thursday, March 20 - Saturday, August 16, 2025, in the Casita Maria Gallery.
Inspired by Tiff’s childhood living room—a space to be seen but not sat in—the exhibition transforms a symbol of pride and restriction into a shared space for gathering, introspection, and creativity. As a first-generation Jamaican American, Tiff’s experience mirrors those of many Black, Caribbean, and multicultural households. In the gallery, this space is reimagined as a place for “connection and solitude, nostalgia and newness.”
