Project snapshot
Ayotl Artes truly embodies the spirit of community through the arts. Called Arte Entre Arboles, our initiative is a lifeline in our community, sparking critical thinking, creativity, and stronger connections among us. We recognize the struggle low-income families face in accessing extracurricular art programs due to cost and limited availability. That’s why we’re committed to offering accessible art education. Every other Sunday, we host bilingual workshops in public parks, reaching at least 25 participants monthly. This scheduling suits working parents and capitalizes on the parks’ busier days. Our workshops encourage ongoing participation and exploration of new crafts, supported by updates via Instagram and traditional promotional materials.
