El Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico seeks to serve teachers, children, incarcerated people, and local artists alike, expanding the definition of what a museum can do. But the museum doesn’t only seek to intervene in people’s lives after they have found themselves in irrevocable situations.
They also run programs intended to address educational needs at an early stage. Their Art, Ecology and Sustainability program found a partner in the Central High School for Visual Arts in Santurce, which is within walking distance of the museum.
