BORIKEN Culture Center (f.k.a. El Arco Iris Center for the Arts), is a St. Paul based non-profit organization (Tax ID: 41-1939883) whose mission is to create a community that empowers and inspires children and families through traditional Afro-Puerto Rican music, art, dance, and song. The organization was founded in 1993 and has served hundreds of Minnesota youth, adults and organizations since its inception. The organization has carried out its mission primarily by developing and executing enriched educational experiences for youth involving the study and performance of Afro-Caribbean dance, drum, and song. The organization's curriculum also encompasses adult dance and drum classes, youth painting classes, history (culturally-sensitive) and story-telling.
The community engagement of BORIKEN assists youth develop a sense of identity, which we believe is essential to their future success. For the past 26 years, BORIKEN's board of directors, teachers, guest-instructors, funders, parents, and volunteers have had a shared vision of elevating the status of the local Latino community through generous donations of time and financial contributions.
