Programs
These programs have managed to give local artists the opportunity to professionalize and take a leap in their career, to be with the community and present their work to gain more recognition and a network within the arts.
At the present time, the organization implements the following social programs:
Murals
As art lovers we want to create inspiration and help promote, cultivate and regenerate the beauty of our border area. The Murals are a celebration of the Border culture, highlighting the will, the perseverance and the hope of the people.
Mural Artist Fund
Since 2009, Amor por Juarez has supported some of the region’s most impoverished neighborhoods and developed binational exchange through innovative and culturally diverse programs.
Meet My City
Meet My City: Juárez is a social program that aims to contribute to the cultural education of children under 13 who live in vulnerable areas of Ciudad Juarez.
Sponsored Artists
With the purpose of expanding cultural products that represent Juarez as a city where the cultural and artistic development is boosted. Amor por Juárez raises funds that are used to finance and sponsor emerging and established artists of Juarez and El Paso. Through an open call (GRANT) projects are received, evaluated and selected by our board members. At the same time, the artists supported by this program are provided with financial assessment and exposure through the organization.
Children to Art | DNA
The civic education of children less than 12 years of age in vulnerable zones of Juarez City is contributed through a methodology of craft workshops. During the span of a month, we teach the child with didactic learning techniques, the ethical values of a citizen and the history of Juarez City, with the objective of contributing to the integral formation of the child and generate a love, respect and attachment feeling to our city, the workshops finalize with a visit to the Museo del INBA and to the Espacio Interactivo la Rodadora.
Juarez Contemporary
This contemporary art gallery project sought to promote the screening, inclusion and involvement of emerging, young and established artists in the national and international art and cultural scene, the development and promotion of local art, the professionalization of artists, curators, theorists and critics of art and other cultural agents of the border and forming an audience interested in contemporary creations and be a key point in the artistic and cultural events in the town. Opened in December 5th 2014, Juarez Contemporary was the first contemporary art gallery with a full-time certified curator in Juarez. Alejandro Morales graduated with honors with a degree in Theory and Criticism of Art at the Autonomous University of Ciudad Juárez (2013).
COVID-19 Resources for Artists
Amor por Juarez has fiercely advocated for the promotion of local and internationally renowned artists and creating large-scale murals as a means to revitalize Juarez and El Paso and improve the quality of life for their citizens. More than static works of art, our cultural community has created artworks that have become synonymous with the identity of our region.
Inside Out
The project Inside Out is a creation of the urban artist JR, who was awarded the TED Prize in 2011. Amor por Juarez collaborated with Monica Lozano to form the Inside Out project in Juarez and El Paso.
Annual Art Show
In 2011, we hosted our first annual fund-raising art auction. The purpose of this auction was to raise funds for the operation of our various programs which help the youth of Juarez by leading them away from a path of violence and corruption, and instead preparing them to be productive members of the society with a hopeful future.
Los hijos del fin del mundo
Los hijos del fin del mundo is a project born in 2009. It’s story, cinematography, art direction, editing, acting and music are it’s greatest virtues. Everything was produced with the highest quality, using RED ONE and RED EPIC cameras.
Juárez Mágico
Between 2007 and 2010 Ciudad Juaez became one of the most dangerous cities in the world to live in. Once the violence in Juarez calmed down, we began the process of rebuilding the City, which was involved in the private sector and local NGOs.
Fashion Show
With the talent of 12 young artists, we created the AXJ fashion show which showcased the work of these artists and designers from Juárez. The show presented unique and high quality creations full of professionalism.
