Fundación Cortés
For more than 90 years, the Cortés Family has been committed to the social and cultural well-being of the Caribbean, as well as the interest and appreciation for art that has transcended its generations, through the Cortés Hermanos Company. In 2007, they celebrated their 70th anniversary by holding an exhibition titled "Cortés Art Collection" at Museo de Arte de Caguas with artworks from their private collection of contemporary Caribbean Art. This celebration encouraged them to create a permanent initiative using works from their art collection as educational tools for social transformation.
Fundación Cortés is an initiative that, through the arts and humanities, seeks to promote the strengthening of the values of our people. Fundación Cortés has started a philanthropic legacy through an active commitment to education that uses the visual arts as an aid to raise awareness about our values, raise awareness about our identity as a people and instill feelings of trust that promote positive and strengthening changes in the spirit of the Puerto Rican and Caribbean community.
Our theory of social transformation consists of the integration of Caribbean art, dialogue, reflection and creative expression through experiential and motivational experiences and individual and teamwork workshops, which at the same time promote the management of emotions and self-care, the development of critical thinking and other skills such as public speaking, increased self-esteem, and emphasis on social values as priorities for community well-being.
