Since its 2005 founding, the Rubin Center has made a name for itself as an outpost for the production and exhibition of experimental contemporary art in a geographically isolated border region. It has hosted more than 150 exhibitions and special projects, presented public lectures and conducted workshops for students of all ages, offering the community a direct experience with practitioners from around the globe. Uniquely bilingual and bicultural, its location enables it to partner with artists, institutions and community organizations in both Juarez and El Paso.
