Taller Boricua / The Puerto Rican Workshop

Taller Boricua has been an advocate for East Harlem artists and residents through providing work and gallery space, curating exhibits and performances, conducting in-school arts education programs, and spearheading the rehabilitation of several buildings in El Barrio, including the Julia The Burgos Latino Cultural Center at 1680 Lexington Avenue, New York, New York 10029

Taller Boricua began as an artist collective to disseminate art throughout traditionally underserved communities; the group held guerilla outdoor exhibits and curated exhibitions and cultural events involving music, poetry, and the visual arts around New York City. As an early collaborator within the Nuyorican poetry and art movement, Taller Boricua continues to be a catalyst for traditional and new perspectives and an experimental multicultural forum for the evolutionary arts.
