It is with great pleasure that Fundacion Muchila Creativo wants to motivate children, youth and adolescents to express themselves in arts as a whole, in the fields of music, dance, visual arts, and theater.
We also want to expand their creative horizon by means of literature, photography, video and multimedia.
FMC want to achieve this by means of courses, lectures, presentations, workshops, seminars and expositions in Aruba and abroad.
What is the meaning of Muchila?
Traditionally, in a Muchila we carry materials for work or tools to work in the fields, or to fish. FMC continuously plants and cultivates seeds of creativity with children, the youth and adults. This “harvest” will surely contribute to a better Aruba.
