Belas Artes Program Theme for 2010

Belas Artes is proud to announce a new step in the cultural and artistic mission of our organization. In 2010, we will focus on expanding our presence and partnerships in the community to promote a concept called bio-cultural diversity. Respect for biological diversity implies respect for human diversity. Both elements are fundamental to stability, peace, and the sustainability of precious finite resources on our planet.

Through collaboration with various ethnic, environmental and cultural groups in the St. Louis area, Belas Artes will present a series of art exhibits, festivals and workshops under the umbrella "People Planet." By promoting bio-cultural diversity expressions and dialogue among such diverse groups we are fostering a culture of peace.
