WHAT IS PRIDA?

PRIDA – Puerto Rican Institute for the Development of the Arts, is an organization dedicated to the preservation and promotion of Puerto Rican arts and culture.

  • PRIDA is a project of Comite Noviembre and fulfills CN’s charge to promote, acknowledge, create awareness and take ownership of our rich culture, language and history.
  • PRIDA will advocate that funding for the arts includes and is distributed to the artists and organizations in our community.
  • PRIDA will develop a database of funders that offer our members opportunities to apply for funding that will support the realization of their projects.
  • PRIDA will establish a working relationship with government and corporate sponsors and pair them up with our member organizations. Likewise, we will pair the individual member artists with the member organizations and sponsors.
  • PRIDA supports Puerto Rican artists by establishing a membership program that will advocate, empower and service the member organizations and artists. Some of the goals of the membership program are:
  1. To open up markets for the sale of art by Puerto Rican artists
  2. Develop a database of galleries and art spaces
  3. Inform members about upcoming events and venues that welcome their participation as vendors through our newsletter, website and social networking resources
  4. Inform the community in general about events that preserve, promote and protect our arts and culture
  5. Sponsor events to showcase and promote Puerto Rican arts and culture
  6. Provide opportunities for our members to conduct workshops and other special events
  7. Provide our members with workshops that provide unique hands-on training and critical educational skills necessary for their professional advancement.
