¿Why Save La Pregunta?
A message from La Pregunta founder Yscaira Jimenez
"A slow economy and a losing battle with financial institutions resulted in an eviction notice last week. I started La Pregunta for the uptown and working class communities of New York City. La Pregunta belongs to you. It belongs to the poets, musicians, filmmakers, painters, photographers, writers, comedians, actors, playwrights, producers, designers, students, teachers, PTA's, entrepreneurs and members of non-profit organizations. It belongs to the janitor, home attendant, cashier, baby-sitter, beautician, banker, bodeguero, street vendor and MTA worker. It belongs to Harlem, Washington Heights, Inwood and the Bronx. This space has been offered to you either free of charge or at a low cost for you to share your talent and message with the community. Now La Pregunta needs you."

About La Pregunta
La Pregunta is part Nuevo Latino cafe, part community meeting place, part performance venue, part arts lounge. It is a place to share and create culture, or simply kick back and enjoy the positive uplifting atmosphere. La Pregunta's mission is to provide a space to share and support the abundant creative and intellectual energy of uptown Manhattan and other working class and immigrant neighborhoods. La Pregunta is especially committed to working with emerging artists from around the world, community based organizations, neighboring schools and demographic groups who have been historically underrepresented in the mainstream cultural institutions of the city. For years, uptown talent has been commuting downtown to perform. Now, at La Pregunta, artists, organizations and audiences have their own space, around the corner, in their neighborhood.
