Adriana believes in the power of art as a tool for social change and awareness. For the past two and a half years, she has served as the Curatorial & Special Programs Manager at Galería de la Raza, a non-profit community arts space based in the Mission District dedicated to advancing intercultural dialog. While at Galería, Adriana has worked with numerous artists, managed the installation of over twenty exhibitions, programmed the gallery’s public billboard project, and assisted in developing the gallery’s grant writing workshops. She received her B.A. in Art History and Archaeology from Tufts University in 2008, decided to leave the east coast behind shortly after and moved to San Francisco on the best whim she’s ever had. She enjoys going to live shows, camping, dancing and when life allows traveling to places she’s never been or returning to her motherlands, Puerto Rico and Spain.
