Spring opens the programming season. Historically, Día del Niño is the day when children are honored in Mexico. Children’s Day in Mexico started in 1925 looking after the wellness of the vulnerable children who were affected by war.
For over three decades, the Mexican Cultural Center has worked in partnership with premium art and cultural institutions to continue this celebration in honor of children in our community. We extend an open invitation to all schools, parents and families to participate and experience the culture first hand. Our philosophy to incorporate the arts and science provides a platform for extended learning. Children, as well as their families are introduced to the many ways art can be incorporated into the sciences that are fun, exhilarating and educational.
The event offers children’s workshops throughout the day, as well as dance performances, storytelling and arts and crafts with academic content that can be transferred to the classroom and life. Our long-standing collaborators and partners on this day include:
- Denver Museum of Nature and Science
- Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art
- Denver Public Library, Denver Art Museum
- Colorado History Museum
- Denver Zoo Conservation Alliance
