Arte y Maña builds bridges of collaboration to generate greater access to the arts, increasing social well-being, solidarity, creativity and self-management, in Puerto Rico and the world

Arte y Mana is a non-profit organization dedicated to creating artistic, educational, and community projects. It also builds collaborative bridges to increase access to the arts, thereby enhancing social well-being, creativity, and self-management in Puerto Rico and around the world. Arte y Mana was born from the need to increase access to the arts and create healing spaces by promoting self-management and reflection in Puerto Rico. Here, we help provide creative and alternative solutions to the community, using the arts to foster community leadership.

​

Arte y Mana offers artistic and community activities based on three fundamental principles: individual development, environmental awareness, and community self-management. The programs we offer aim to foster participants' creativity, introducing communities to a diversity of artistic expressions so they can acquire tools for personal, educational, and social development. We offer artistic performances, workshops, talks, forums, and podcasts where people can unleash their creativity. Using our experience in the cultural field, our talent, and our practices; Arte y Mana works to continue shaping the path towards that new reality we want to see in our communities and to expand the reach and high-impact artistic activities throughout the country.
