SUMMER KIDSART AT Cisneros Fontanals Art Foundation (CIFO)

Through a collaboration with the Cisneros Fontanals Art Foundation (CIFO), this year Artoconecto is conducting affordable art workshops at the foundation headquarters in downtown Miami. Each year, artists are selected to conduct workshops designed to teach children unique art techniques, styles and processes, while engaging them in a stimulating unforgettable learning process.
Since 2008, Artoconecto's KIDSART has been working with inspiring working and dedicated artists whose participation has contributed to a life changing experience for the kids.
It is our mission to continue bringing the most dynamic and diverse group of contemporary artists to the lives of our children, and through partnerships and collaborations in the area, our mission is expanding and benefiting more and more children, because the arts should be a part of every child's life. Thank you to all the amazing artists for making this year another successful KIDSART. Special thanks to the Cisneros Fontanals Art Foundation for its continued support and nurturing of the program.

Our Mission Statement

ARTOCONECTO is a non-profit arts advocacy organization based in New York City, dedicated to creating and promoting unique artistic projects.

Artoconecto pioneered the concept of the pop-up gallery, creating enormous roving art ‘galleries’ in non-traditional venues in Washington D.C. and Miami. We strive to present the most dynamic artists we can find, and provide them the platform and the tools to both engage the public, and to take bold new risks.

We also believe that the arts should have a part in every child’s life, and KIDSART, which brings children into working artists’ studios, is our first program designed to introduce children to the rich cultural and artistic diversity of the community.

Our goal is to continue to expand the dialogue between the artist and the community, and to shine a bright light on creativity in the public realm.
