Providing innovative hands-on arts education classes, Taller Puertorriqueño’s Cultural Awareness Program (CAP) opens a world of cultural discovery and understanding for our younger participants. This year-long comprehensive program includes a homework club, after-school activities, parent workshops, and Saturday classes in addition to a seven-week multidisciplinary children’s summer arts camp.

CAP introduces students to renowned local artists, performers, and educators who guide children on this journey of self-discovery. Children leave Taller’s educational programs assured that the artistic and cultural history of the Latino community is their own, and well-equipped to make their own contributions to their neighborhoods and beyond. The program encourages children’s self-expression through classes in different disciplines such as folkloric dance, salsa, drama, ceramics, painting, and printmaking.
