The P.R.I.S.M.A program is implemented as a unique initiative in Mexico that seeks to bring the arts to audiences that traditionally do not have access to them, especially in vulnerable communities. Inspired by the British program "Live Music Now", this project uses workshops, talks, concerts and festivals to impact more than 18,000 children in states such as Guerrero.
The program not only promotes artistic education in hospitals, schools, prisons and nursing homes, but also benefits children with disabilities and learning difficulties, generating the audiences of tomorrow.
