Community Partners

Promotora de las Bellas Artes

  • Promotora de las Bellas Artes is a non-profit civil association that has been working since 1992 to reduce the inequality gap in our region.

    Our programs focus on providing opportunities to children and adolescents in conditions of marginalization and disadvantaged social contexts. We seek to help them strengthen their thinking and socio-emotional skills, in order to contribute to the improvement of their performance and school permanence.

    We believe that art education is one of the fundamental axes for the integral formation of the individual in society due to its importance in the development of sensitivity and creative capacity. Thanks to the sum of the wills of people and institutions committed to their community, we make it possible.
