El Puente Arts centers its efforts on the development and collectivizing of Intergenerational Artists in growing in their mastery as Professional Artists and Cultural Organizers. Our Artists are not only trained to create skillful Art, but are grown in their capacities and skills to use their Art to educate around, inspire connection and directly support the efforts of Social Justice Movements, campaigns and initiatives aligned with El Puente mission and “Action Platform for Collective Self Determination. They are guided in their Arts Development through our Global Justice Institute frameworks of the Creative Justice Approach, Transformative Community Building and Principled Leadership for Liberation.
