Our Mission
Taller Puertorriqueño, a community based cultural organization whose primary purpose is to preserve, develop, and promote Puerto Rican arts and culture, grounded in the conviction that embracing one’s cultural heritage is empowering. Taller is also committed to the representation and support of other Latino cultural expressions and our common roots.
Our Vision
Taller Puertorriqueño is guided by the vision of a Latino community that is engaged, culturally aware, and economically vibrant in a society that values its cultural diversity. Taller is a destination that catalyzes community development through its arts and cultural resources and builds bridges between the local community, the region, and the Puerto Rican and Latino Diaspora.
Our Values
Integrity
We strive for transparency, fiscal responsibility, and excellence in all organizational practices.
Inclusiveness and embracing diversity
We value an awareness of cultural sensitivity, cultural competence and cultural authenticity.
Social Justice and civic responsibility
We remain committed to community empowerment and broad-based collaboration.
Land Acknowledgement
Taller Puertorriqueño recognizes Philadelphia as part of Lënapehòkink, the stolen, contemporary, traditional and ancestral homeland of the Lenape people.
Inclusive Language
We acknowledge that there are many different terms to describe various identities within “Latinidad”, we choose to use the terms Latinx and Latine because we feel it is inclusive of many identities.
Solidarity Statement
Taller wants to add our voice to the collective statement demanding justice and action regarding police brutality in our community.
This is yet another example of the distrust that exists because of the open wounds that go unaddressed. Please read this letter to Mayor Jim Kenney regarding the death of Eddie Irizarry by Executive Director of Ceiba, Will Gonzalez.
