Our Programs

Project Mariposa is a year-long series of art projects honoring the monarch butterfly, its symbolism, and its significance in our environment. Through our collaborative work with the El Paso Museum of Archeology, the El Paso Museum of History, the Mexican American Cultural Center, and the HOPES collaborative, we provide instruction using open-ended art forms including collage, sculpture, mixed media painting, and more. The collaborative pieces created by the community during this series will then be displayed on exhibit in Fall 2025.

This project is aptly named Esperanza because the aim to is provide hope and joy to youth  who do not have access to permanent housing. Project Esperanza is done in collaboration with area shelters that provide temporary housing to unhoused youth and families. Participants receive hands-on experience in various types of art and foundational language and literacy support.
