ConArte celebrates 20 years of promoting children's cultural rights in Mexico City

The Encuentro Arte, Escuela y Comunidad 2026 is currently underway in Mexico City, marking a significant milestone: the 20th anniversary of ConArte, an organization dedicated to promoting cultural rights for children. The event, held at the Teatro de la Ciudad Esperanza Iris, offers a historical overview of ConArte's two decades of work through various presentations.

Nahui Twomey, ConArte's coordinator, explained that the event highlights the outcomes of the association's methodological work conducted in public schools and at its La Nana center. "We are celebrating 20 years of promoting the exercise of cultural rights for children from public schools in Mexico City and presenting a year of work at La Nana," Twomey stated.

ConArte offers two primary avenues for children's participation. School directors can request the ConArte program to bring activities directly to their institutions. Alternatively, children can enroll in workshops by visiting La Nana. This dual approach ensures broad access to cultural education and engagement.

In its 20-year history, ConArte has made a substantial impact, benefiting over half a million people, including children, youth, and adults. The organization's sustained commitment underscores the importance of cultural access for young people in Mexico City.
