OUR MISSION & VISION:
Art Mundo strives to create a world of possibilities through education, exhibitions and public outreach programs in the contemporary arts. The Center is a supportive and creative environment providing people of all ages and backgrounds the opportunities to create, study and present art, nurturing artists' careers in all stages of development and serving the community's art and cultural needs by expanding public understanding, appreciation and enjoyment of art.
ABOUT US:
The Art Mundo Center for Creative Expression, a not-for-profit community arts education organization, is located in Historic Downtown Ft. Pierce, FL at the ArtBank, 111 Orange Ave. Co-founders Allie Comer, Sherry Horton, Ginny Piech Street and Deena Wynne began talking seriously about their dream in December 2007 and refined their ideas and goals at meetings through the first part of 2008. Art Mundo incorporated in August 2008 and obtained its non-profit status in January, 2009. Its first educational event was a series of free workshops, Discover the Artist Within, held in conjunction with the Backus Museum’s annual Tribute to Backus exhibition in March 2009. This event was repeated in 2010 and a full curriculum of classes and workshops has been developed. Community Outreach programs with Hibiscus House, Frontline and local schools are a primary focus as well.
