El Taller Latino Americano is a nonprofit organization founded in 1979 in New York City to bridge the Americas through art, dance, and music. Based on Manhattan's Upper West Side at 99th Street, it offers Spanish language classes and free English instruction, along with arts programming and musical performances. The organization seeks to educate while engaging diverse communities culturally and linguistically through creativity. Each month, more than 500 people participate in its programs, sharing ideas, taking classes, and seeking creative inspiration in the city. Its work rests on collaborations with the public school system, hospitals, and other community groups. It reaches school-age children through Sesame Street initiatives, immigrant populations through Misa Campesina for Peace, and the medical community through an alliance with Health and Hospitals Corporation. It also collaborates with citywide arts initiatives, including the MTA Mural Project and Latido Latino on HBO and Nonesuch Records. The organization is based in New York City and maintains a small staff.
