Taller Puertorriqueño was established in 1974 by Latino artists and activists in the North Kensington area of Philadelphia. They created a community based graphic arts workshop to provide cultural training alternatives to local youth. Throughout its history, our Workshop has been a vital resource to the barrio and to the region. It is now recognized as a model organization that uses the arts as a vehicle for social change.
Taller provides audiences and neighbors gathering spaces, creative outlets for youth, and artistic and education programs that underscore our rich Puerto Rican/Latino heritage. Our work presents a "first voice" account of these accomplishments.
