- [amArte](https://mexic-artemuseum.org/learn/education/amarte/) - Mexic-Arte Museum aspires to uplift underserved communities who lack exposure to art programming. Through amArte, the Mexic-Arte Museum will support the Office of Violence Prevention by fostering environments that cultivate healthy learning, academic and career excellence, as well as emotional and social wellness. amArte provides two community-based art projects with local, professional artists through an advanced art curriculum with all supplies provided at no cost. These workshops give students access to materials and equipment that are not typically available with school budgets; in addition, participants interact with professional artists in the community. One amArte workshop will be held during the fall semester with a Dia de los Muertos theme. amArte's second session will take place in the summer and it’s open to the public (ages 11+). amArte’s workshops span from 1 week to 2 weeks depending on the nature of the workshop and school availability. This programming provides safe community spaces and frequent interventions which reduce exposure to future risks and, thus, the prevention of violence. The Museum supports the community with art and cultural enrichment that promotes community engagement and strengthens the skills of children by providing equitable curricula. We thank the Austin Public Health’s Office of Violence Prevention for their continuous support.
