Galería Petrus en su larga trayectoria ha realizado un sinnúmero de exhibiciones en y fuera de Puerto Rico. En los últimos 10 años se han destacado más de 100 exhibiciones individuales y colectivas del más selecto grupo artistas locales e internaciones.
Estos artistas se destacan en diferentes medios de la plástica: pintura, escultura, fotografía, grabado, "grafiti", instalación, "performance" y nuevos medios.
“The explosion of contemporary art in San Juan owes a debt to this gallery, launched back in
1998. Slightly off the beaten path, in residential Miramar, Galería Petrus is a whitewashed newbuilding
duplex that stands in sharp contrast to the area’s pastel-painted bungalows. Presenting
colorful visual art and sculpture, it provides an antidote to the kitsch found in Viejo San Juan.
Owner Sylvia Villafañe is a strong champion of local talent, from the up-and-coming to the
established”.

“The first significant entrant into Santurce’s growing art scene was Petrus, which has been at the forefront of contemporary Puerto
Rican art since 2003” … “The owner Sylvia Villafañe, said she choose the neighborhood, because
Old San Juan, which used to be the city’s art mecca, was becoming too expensive and
constricted. “I love Santurce is more active now,” she said. “It’s great to see young artists
arrive.””
