Más Amor Arts Initiative's Current Initiatives:

The United States/Mexican Border
In partnership with Opera de Tijuana, we visit the U.S./Mexican border communities of Pipila and Altiplano to provide educational opportunities and resources for the youth, parents, and teachers of the region.
California's Farmworkers
In partnership with The Farmworker Caravan, we are collaborating to create multi-genre arts experiences that share the hardships and injustices, while celebrating the lives of California's Farmworker communities.

Past Initiatives:

California Juvenile Detention Centers
Primarily within the Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, and San Benito county regions, Más Amor visits, interacts with, performs for, and co-creates with incarcerated youth as an outlet for expression and promotion of anti-recidivism.
Syrian & Palestinian Refugee Camps
Más Amor partners with Imagine Arts Workshop, Series, and Summer Camp in Beirut, Lebanon to bring arts and social service to Syrian and Palestinian refugee camps.
Homeless Women
In collaboration with On Route 22, Más Amor organizes and produces project-based programs to give homeless women creative and expressive outlets, as well as platform to share their stories and amplify their voices.

Each project is a stand-alone initiative with its own design, partners, contributing artists, and budgets. We invite you to get involved with Más Amor Arts Initiative in any way you can!
