Mission Statement:
Juan Vicente WorkshopAlthough we are a non-profit organization, the support of our projects doesn’t lie on donations or other kind of financial resources, but our autonomous management in generating our own funds, based on direct or indirect sales of art works made in our art studios, with the participation of volunteer artists.
Our financing source is based on using 100% of these art sales, to guarantee the continuity of our projects.
The art workshops are designed to arouse artistic sensibility and promoting the necessary confidence to make participants active protagonists when expressing themselves and share their individual or collective feelings, being able to generate changes from the family members and directly have a positive impact in the community.
Our artists receive from the volunteers team, as well as from our allied companies, the necessary support to promote their work in the United States. In addition, we are always in search of renowned exhibits in the area , and we take care of necessary procedures for their participation, assuring and facilitating the whole process, so that the artists can dedicate to what they have to dedicate: CREATE!.
A sales percentage produced by the participation in these exhibitions and/or public and private presentations, are used to benefit our scholarship program for emerging artists.

Agency Details
Embracing Art Volunteer Team
The “Embracing Art Volunteer Team” is the initiative of three young venezuelans living in the East Coast of the United States, who inspired by the philosophy of family business-, “ Social changes through Social Responsibility “, have managed to develop a meeting platform between different cultures, languages and social-economic classes, establishing communication links among children, teenagers and adults who attend the different art workshops, which are totally sponsored by our group, with the intention of impressing positively and create social coexistence environments and to enrich the interaction.
We passionately believe that through art, in any expression, we can reach our goal of being a multiplying channel to spread what we have named “Inside Out Project “. This project, stimulates the citizen’s participation either among the poorest and more needed individuals.
This project is not about teaching art per se, but it is about using it as a tool to enjoy and appreciate it, in order to create, develop and find the sense of identity and belonging , using art as a translator and conductor between dissimilar groups, but perfectible of coexisting in harmony in the same society.
The knowledge produces changes, magnifies the spirit and produces deep pleasure feelings that lead to happiness. Using art as a stimulus makes us start enjoying a learning process and conditioning the gift of our new knowledge.
With time and experience gained by our foundation in 2010, we have evolved, getting used to new communication ways. Besides the art workshops, we have set up our first news channel on internet, “ ExpresArt News “, targeting children and adolescents in the community to report in a simple, joyful and funny way, all the relevant news in the world of art, as well as messages with a high social content, to facilitate the encounter within families, life values, respect and responsibility, recognizing the fundamental role of each individual in his environment.
