Casa de las Américas is an organization that was founded by the Cuban Government in April 1959, four months after the Cuban Revolution, for the purpose of developing and extending the socio-cultural relations with the countries of Latin America, the Caribbean and the rest of the world. Founded by Haydée Santamaría (1923–1980) who was its President until her death, followed by Mariano Rodriguez (1912–1990) and currently (since 1986) presided over by Roberto Fernández Retamar, the Casa de las Américas promotes, researches, supports, awards and publishes the work of writers, sculptures, musicians, and other artists and students of literature and the arts. It awards the Casa de las Américas Prize. This institution is home to an extensive collection of Latin American paintings and graphic art from the 1960s to present day. The Casa de las Americas is housed in an Art Deco building built shortly after the Cuban Revolution. It was founded by Haydee Santamaria, one of the heroines of the armed struggle. The Casa de las Americas is located just down the way from some of Havana's modern center and some of its tallest buildings. Address: Calle 3ra. y G, Vedado, Cuba
