Since its founding in 1974, Taller Puertorriqueño (Taller) has used art to build and empower the Puerto Rican/Latino community in the great Philadelphia region and has grown into a singular destination for experiencing the diversity and depth of Latino arts and culture. The only art space dedicated to artists of Puerto Rican and Latin American descent in the area, it presents exhibitions, performances, community installations and more. It undertakes collaborative partnerships with the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, the Barnes Foundation, and other institutions, which enable it to expand its audience and amplify the impact of exhibitions. In all programming, Taller strives to challenge cultural stereotypes and celebrate traditional practices while fostering conversations on immigration, economic, environmental and social justice, voting, discrimination and other pressing topics.
