Taller Puertorriqueño (Taller) has been “Building Community through Art Since 1974”.

This stands as a testament to the role Taller plays in celebrating this community’s strength, resilience, diversity and cultural richness.

-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.
