  Went on a people to people trip with Sandy in January 2015 and had a lovely time. The trip included a very knowledgeable guide with transportation and wonderful visits to artists homes and studios. It was amazing to see how the Cuban art community has thrived all this time and the great diversity of artistic expression. Our trip also included a guided tour of the Cuban Museum of Fine Arts, a visit to a cigar factory, the rum museum, the camera obscura and other attractions in and around old Havana. Great fun, very interesting and plan a repeat visit in the future!

  Three years ago I was fortunate enough to participate in one of the Centers tours for educators. It was a trip of a lifetime made possible by the consummate professionals at the center for Cuban studies. If you are considering a trip to Cuba, I highly recommend them, educator or not. You can expect no hassles, a well organized itinerary , top notch accommodations and well informed, helpful, folks every step of the way.

  They are the 'REAL DEAL'. Founded in 1972, they remain the authoritative source for all things involving Cuba, Cuban Art and Cuban Travel. While it seems that lately there are many agencies offering 'Tours to Cuba', CCS has been doing it since 1999! They really know all there is to know about Cuban history and the current Cuban Art scene. A visit to their space at 231 W 29th St will give an appreciation for the depth of their collection. A trip to Cuba with them will give a nuanced appreciation for the culture, art and people of Cuba. Unforgettable.

  The Center for Cuban Studies has done the most wonderful job for over 40 years of making Cuban art and life available in the United States and working to try to improve relations between the U.S. and Cuba. This is The Source to go to to learn more about Cuban life and culture and history and even to go to Cuba and see it all for yourself. Sandy Levinson and the rest of the superb people who have worked at the Center over the years and who are working there now are tireless in their eagerness and thoughtfulness to open doors too long closed to most of the American people.

  Over the past (almost) fifteen years, I've had many wonderful experiences with CCS. The first was an eye-opening trip to Cuba in 1998. Not only did I get to take in the island in its wonderful diversity, but I also had a chance to get acquainted with Sandra Levinson, the Center's director, and the other fascinating people in my group. It was during that visit that I fell in love with Cuba's artists and art, and that led to the first show of Cuban art in my gallery in Portland, OR, called "Touching Cuba". Since then, I showed other work by Cuban artists and, after closing the gallery, I organized another tour group with the Center which went to the island in 2011. It was again an amazing time for me and the others in the group, several of whom have told me it was the best travel experience they ever had.
