National Museum of Mexican Art
The National Museum of Mexican Art (NMMA) is requesting continued support for Listo para el museo (Ready for the Museum), a program that is geared toward employing Mexican culture and artmaking to support cognitive development in young children. The Museum seeks to serve as a community resource for parents looking for unique, culturally relevant ways to support their children’s development. What’s more, NMMA seeks to incorporate art made by Chicago born or based artists in order to make children and families aware of the richness of art from their own Mexican community.
