At Laboratorio Arts we were over the moon the first time we had the privilege of collaborating with Grammy award winning Tejano legend Ruben “El Gato Negro” Ramos. Over the years our creative relationship with Ruben has grown, and now we are excited to embark on something larger together - a brand new studio album! Will you help us?

Laboratorio Arts is a creative laboratory built to explore and celebrate Latine culture. Serving as an incubator and presenter of adventurous performances, recordings, and films, we place a spotlight on our diverse roots and shared culture through music, art, and storytelling. 

WHAT WE DO

We believe in the power of art to foster empathy and create a more peaceful, united society. To that end, we are working to build a community that gathers to learn, hear important Latine perspectives, and experience the life-changing transformation that only live performance can provide.

WHAT WE Believe


The Laboratorio Concert Series serves as the creative hub of our collaborative programming. Founded by singer-songwriter/violinist Carrie Rodriguez in 2017, and hosted at the Paramount Theatre in Austin, Texas, the Laboratorio Concert Series is a live performance experience that utilizes world-class musicianship, the visual arts, and storytelling to explore and celebrate Latine culture.
