Preservando el Arte

What is Preservando el Arte?

The mission of Preservando el Arte is to help and motivate others with art so that it can change people in an integral way. The purpose is to implement workshops that target the needs of others, helping artists to rediscover themselves, while at the same time helping people to connect on a community level and to improve their unique talents. Additionally, we want to help young people as well as adults that have fallen victim to drugs, depression, and other mental illnesses integrate back into the community.
