Support, Empower, Acknowledge the arts and culture

In 2010, we saw how an exhibit of Mexican art at the Utah Museum of Fine Arts drew the entire community together in celebration and positive interaction during a difficult political time. We formed Artes de México en Utah to use the power of art to build bridges in our diverse community. We developed our programming in response to requests from the community for traveling exhibits, films, literature, and classes that teach cross-cultural competence. 

10 years going on 11, prove our commitment to our all our communities, because Multiculturalism is the core value of our programs, because we help the Latino-Hispanic youth to connect with their roots and to be proud of being part of a multicultural heritage, because we acknowledge and share the relevance of our living traditions, practices and language. Through our programs, our audiences become aware that many of our ancient traditions are alive in our daily practices, and that they enrich the diversity of our state. We acknowledge the preservation of such practices with respect and honor.

Our programs focus on the interconnection between Nature-Culture-Sustainability. Our heritage - the cosmovision - is based on these three concepts that we must continue to preserve for the well-being of our planet.

We are the voice and the perspectives of our community in everything we do. Our community helps us create the content of our programs by sharing peoples’ relevant oral histories and cultural knowledge.
