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.

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.”
