Together We Grow

In Española, New Mexico, a town plagued by one of the highest rates of drug overdose deaths in the country, Moving Arts Española (MAE) operates with the belief that visual and performing arts education for students ages 3-18 gives Española’s youth both a safe haven from the dangers of their town as well as the leadership skills and vision to change the community’s narrative. MAE’s programs use the arts to nurture students’ creative, physical, academic, social, and emotional well-being and empower them as a source of strength in a community facing multi-generational challenges.
