In the historic Barelas neighborhood, near the river a mile south of downtown, this modern, architecturally imaginative center for Hispanic visual, performing and literary arts holds three galleries used for fine arts exhibitions, performances, salsa classes and fabulous eats at Pop Fizz. Don't miss the intricate fresco in the dome of the Torreón painted by New Mexico's Frederico Vigil. Check the website for upcoming events to make the most of it.
