Arte Fogata
Mission: Arte Fogata creates engaging art workshops for children and teens living in at-risk and disadvantaged circumstances.
Arte Fogata is a non-profit art workshop project started by Robert Aitchison in 2015. It is currently operating in La Paz, Bolivia.
Arte Fogata collaborates with existing organizations that operate in vulnerable communities, serving children susceptible to adverse social challenges such as homelessness, economic poverty, emotional and physical abuse, addiction, and trafficking.
Currently Aitchison and Arte Fogata operate in La Paz, Bolivia serving youth under the care of Fundación Alalay - a foster care program for children and teens.
Art workshops taught by Robert Aitchison, a Brooklyn, New York based artist, offer children the opportunity to explore creativity and art making in a fun, safe, nurturing, and positive environment. With over 20 years of working with children in diverse circumstances and populations Aitchison understands the integral role creativity plays in helping children overcome barriers to personal growth and transformation.
