Twenty-nine years of services to the Puerto Rican community and one year at our headquarters, The Cultural Heritage Center, where we annex communities.

The Puerto Rican Institute for the Arts and Advocacy, Inc. (PRIAA) Supports artists and families and community leaders and ethnicities to create safe and accessible environments for low-income families. PRIAA is committed to enriching our environment through the arts. So pleased with the support of wonderful groups of volunteers who have been apprentices at our Cultural Heritage Center and who are currently contributing to the development of our Preservation programs, through our Apprenticeship programs in Pawtucket, Central Falls, and Providence. We already have volunteers giving classes supervised by Puerto Rican and Colombian folklorists. We have apprentices who continue wood carving, aluminum embossing and the confession of paper mache masks. A year of learning, a year of programmed successes.
Celebrate with us. WEPA
