Petrus
Petrus (726 Calle Hoare, Santurce) – the first significant entry into Santurce’s emerging art scene, Petrus, has been at the forefront of contemporary Puerto Rican art since 2003. A distinctive sculpture by Carmen Inés Blondet — large steel spikes coming out of the ground — marks the entrance to its modern, white building. The owner, Sylvia Villafañe, set shop in Santurce because Old San Juan, which used to be the city’s art mecca, was becoming too expensive and constricted.
