About
The Rincón Heroes Foundation is a Puerto Rico–based cultural stewardship organization dedicated to ensuring that Puerto Rican and Latin American artistic expression endures across generations.
We recognize a simple truth: artists create culture, but culture endures because leaders choose to steward it. Rincón Heroes exists to honor and mobilize that leadership—transforming generosity and conviction into lasting cultural impact.
Our work centers on supporting artists with dignity, continuity, and creative freedom. Through fellowships, commissions, permanent cultural works, and long-term relationships, we help artists focus on creation while building structures that allow their work to live beyond a single moment or exhibition.
Rooted in Puerto Rico and connected throughout Latin America, the Foundation operates as a bridge between artists and the individuals and organizations whose stewardship makes enduring cultural legacy possible. We prioritize permanence over publicity, intention over transaction, and long-term impact over short-term outcomes.
Rincón Heroes is a fully approved 501(c)(3) nonprofit, a Puerto Rico §1101.01 tax-exempt organization, and Act 60–compliant, structured to meet the expectations of sophisticated donors, institutions, and cultural partners.
At its core, Rincón Heroes is about continuity—ensuring that culture remains vibrant, artists remain supported, and creative excellence is carried forward with care.
We believe in the power of art and culture to transform lives and communities. Our mission is to empower artists and cultural leaders to shape a vibrant and inclusive society, where creativity and heritage thrive.
