IAMART "kids" was created to provide children in grades K-18 a curated artisan experience within the IAMART Showcase. The multi-day programming will feature instructor-led arts & crafts activities, creative storytelling, canvas free-paint, face and finger painting, art-tech demonstrations by Microsoft and much more. 

​

Our goal is to inspire the next generation of urban artists like that of Diego Rivera. Diego María de la Concepción Juan Nepomuceno Estanislao de la Rivera y Barrientos Acosta y Rodríguez, known as Diego Rivera was a prominent Mexican painter and the husband of Frida Kahlo. 

​

As a core component in the creation of IAMART, we look to not only inspire art in today’s youth but also support those inspirations in tangible ways.  The Young Diego & Frida Awards will be given to the top young male & female artisans in CDMX.  We intend to invite artists from grades K-8 to submit two dimensional artwork such as print, painting, photography or drawings. 

​

The Top 24 finalists will be judged by a panel of their art contemporaries where the winners will be recognized by their perspective schools, communities and awarded a scholarship to further their education by attending an area art program.
