About Us

---

The Arte Club (or Club de Arte in Spanish) is a mission-driven charity, dedicated to supporting children and teachers around the world.

Our journey began in 2021 when three best friends – Jacqueline Sand, Stacey McEntire and Katelynn Nutter – came together with a shared vision of making a positive impact on the lives of young children in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico. Jacqueline, who had recently moved to the area with her family, couldn't help but notice how income disparity affected the local children's access to extracurricular opportunities. After moving to Playa Del Carmen and witnessing the limited resources available to children in the region, Jacqueline was deeply moved to take action and create change.

With a strong belief in the transformative power of art, Jacqueline, Stacey and Katelynn founded The Arte Club with a simple yet profound mission: to enrich the lives of underprivileged children through the joy of creativity and self-expression. Our primary focus is to provide free art classes and creative workshops to young children, nurturing their imaginations and helping them to discover the endless possibilities that art offers. By sponsoring art classes, The Arte Club not only exposes young children to the arts, but also supports art teachers and local economies.

At The Arte Club, we understand that art is more than just brushstrokes on a canvas: it is a universal language that transcends cultural boundaries and connects hearts. Through our initiatives, we aim to instill confidence, inspire dreams, and foster a sense of belonging among the children we serve. With each stroke of color, we hope to paint a picture of joy and opportunity for the generations to come.

Join The Arte Club, and help bring the beauty of art to children around the world.
