How did Friends of Puerto Rico start?
Friends of Puerto Rico started in 2014, when one of our co-founders, David Paul De Rosa, visited the Art Museum of Ponce and read that a painting of King Gaspar (by Peter Paul Reubens) would be visiting the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC for a reunion of the three kings which besides being very symbolic for our Puerto Rican culture, also celebrated a reunion that had not occurred in over 100 years. From there came up the desire to develop a commemorative and funding event for the Art Museum of Ponce and its educational program for kids. The event was able to recollect money for the museum remodeling and it provided the access to the projects La Cantera for them to visit the museum.
