Puerto Rico Art News (PRAN) announced that the artist collective Proyecto de Artistas Plásticos, Inc. was able to secure the use of the historic building Casa de los Contrafuertes [House of the Buttresses] on Old San Juan, Puerto Rico. This is a great victory for the art collective, a group of artists who, through several years, had promoted local artists and hosted numerous cultural events, including exhibitions and workshops—all free and open to the general public. PRAN reports:

The Executive Director of the Institute of Puerto Rican Culture (ICP), Professor Carlos Ruiz Cortés, accompanied by Charles Juhasz Alvarado and the Proyecto de Artistas Plásticos, Inc., announced at a March 9^th press conference the reopening of Casa de los Contrafuertes with an agreement to use the building as a cultural center and workshop space in Old San Juan.
