Project Title: Summer Arts + Culture Camp
Project Description:

Established in 1991 within Denver’s Santa Fe Arts District, Museo de Las Americas showcases Latino art and culture, emphasizing its historical and contemporary significance. The museum serves as a platform for community dialogue and addresses programming gaps by integrating arts and culture into its extensive education programs for children, youth, and adults across the metro area.
Museo’s flagship educational program, the Summer Arts + Culture Camp, caters to 65 predominantly Latinx youth aged 4-11 annually. This three-week program integrates daily classes in dance, theater, music, and visual arts with subjects such as science, social studies, and language arts, focusing on a different Latin American nation each year. The camp nurtures individual creativity, supports emotional and social well-being, expands cultural knowledge, and combats summer learning loss.
The camp collaborates with local organizations, enhancing its offerings and showcasing community resources. Approximately 85% of participants receive scholarships, ensuring equity in arts education for Denver’s children.
The upcoming 16th annual Summer Arts + Culture Camp, scheduled for 2025 at Museo de las Americas, will spotlight the vibrant culture of El Salvador.

Total Project Budget: The comprehensive budget for the year 2025 is set at $60,670.00, encompassing various components such as Salaries, Marketing & Promotion, Materials, Presenters, Final Performance, Scholarships, Collateral Materials, and Staff.
