Discover Puerto Rico has launched the Blank Canvas Initiative that will encourage street artists, from around the world, to share their craft on the walls of Puerto Rico's streets.

Puerto Rico offers more than 70 art museums and 50 art galleries that contain works ranging from ancient Indigenous and African, to Baroque and Victorian, and contemporary works of art.

Independent collectors, curators, quality events and highly skilled artisans also offer their work across the Caribbean Island and there is a thriving street art and mural experience.

Puerto Rican artist, Alexis Bousquet, founder of the Santurce es Ley street art festival, and local artists have identified wall spaces throughout Puerto Rico.

The modern-day art sits alongside the Island's diverse architecture that dates to the 1500's, as the first settlement in the New World.

Most notably, the city of Old San Juan, which houses the Spanish colonial settlement and various UNESCO World Heritage Sites, will be celebrating its 500th anniversary in 2021, with the

celebrations and events beginning in 2020.
