Official Guide of the Rio Grande Valley
The ARTS have the capacity to trigger reflection, generate empathy, create dialogue and foster new ideas and relationships and offer a powerful and democratic way of expressing, sharing and shaping values. The ARTS can help us build new competencies and understand how to imagine and rehearse a different way of being and relating. Focus on the world of ARTS and culture as a vital source for ways of finding solutions to a whole new belief of what a treasured life really means.
