Juntos Art Association
is a non-profit arts organization in El Paso
that is comprised of professional artists,
educators, librarians, lawyers and other
professionals. Our organization's mission is
to promote cultural awareness in the
community through the arts in order to
enhance pride, understanding and recognition
of the Hispanic culture. One of our goals is
to help our youth through sponsorship of art
exhibitions, student murals and arts
festivals that take artists, writers, poets,
university professors, musicians and film
experts to the schools to provide an
exceptional learning experience to our
students. Our exhibitions, festivals and
other events are made free to the general
public thanks to the contributions of art
patrons and funding from various sources. |
