The Taller Boricua, in Manhattan, New York is a multidisciplinary cultural space founded in 1969 by Puerto Rican artists to promote the arts and culture of the Puerto Rican community in El Barrio/East Harlem, as well as to offer a platform to underrepresented and marginalized artists.[1]
It is located at the Julia de Burgos Latino Cultural Center.[2]
Its founders were a group of activists, intellectuals and young artists such as Carlos Osorio, Rafael Tufino, Fernando Salicrup, Marcos Dimas and Nitza Tufiño.
This artist-run non profit gallery offer art exhibitions, artist talks, workshops and art classes that take place throughout the year [3] and aim to curb the economic, cultural and social disparities in the area.
