Pro Art, a necessary initiative
Arte Pro is a non-profit organization that, based on the relationship between art, science and social psychology, has built the opportunity to positively impact the lives of children. Some time ago we crossed paths with the founder, Luz, and we decided to join a project in which we believe and where we know that there is something very valuable that we want to share with our community.

What is Arte Pro?
Arte Pro came from a force of wanting to heal something on a collective level and on a personal level.
Arte Pro, which is currently celebrating its tenth anniversary, has designed and implemented programs capable of truly generating an impact, far beyond its difficulties and challenges. Through workshops ranging from agroecology, dance, cinema, to mindfulness and yoga, and accompanied by psychological and neurological processes, boys and girls discover, learn and discover other ways of dreaming and creating.
Arte Pro works primarily with children between the ages of 5 and 12 who are vulnerable, at risk, abused, in extreme poverty, abandoned, or subjected to violence, or who were born in prison. One of its most important populations is that of girls and young women who are victims of abuse, prostitution, human trafficking, and teenage pregnancy. In addition, its programs have been implemented in foster homes, shelters, refuges, and foster homes in Mexico City, and also in prisons and detention centers for adolescents, in marginalized populations and neighborhoods with high rates of violence. They have worked in indigenous communities, as was the case of the community school they built in San Pedro Mixtepec, Oaxaca, where the accumulation of all the methodology they have been building for years allowed them to approach a new community, get to know them, learn from them, and collaborate to design a program that would adapt to their needs and tastes.

This creative and conscious approach provides tools for self-reflection and introspection, creating a space for personal dialogue and awareness that fosters self-reliance, self-respect, respect for the opinions of others, and a critical and practical mindset.
