Taller Boricua was founded in 1969 and incorporated as a 501(c) non-profit arts organization in 1970 under the name Puerto Rican Workshop Inc. by artists Marcos Dimas, Adrian Garcia, Manuel Otero, Armando Soto, and Martin Rubio. The Puerto Rican Workshop has been instrumental in the cultural and social well-being of the East Harlem neighborhood known as “El Barrio,” serving as a cultural and educational center for the Puerto Rican community in New York City. Taller Boricua began as an artist collective with the hopes of disseminating art throughout traditionally underserved communities, holding guerilla outdoor exhibitions and cultural events involving music, poetry, and the visual arts all around New York City. An early engager of the Young Lords Party, collaborator within the Nuyorican poetry and art movement, and key player in the foundation of El Museo del Barrio, Taller Boricua continues to enhance the aesthetic, cultural, historical, political, and economic experience of Puerto Ricans in New York. They stand out as leaders in the movement to center unrepresented artists marginalized by the dominant cultural gatekeepers of our times.
