Asociación de Artes del Mar Cortez, A.C. is a registered Mexican non-profit organization founded in 1992 and based in Los Barriles, on the East Cape of Baja California Sur, making it one of the oldest arts and community organizations in the region. For over three decades, the association has supported local youth and schools through art classes, school supply donations, summer program funding, and the publication of East Capers Magazine, while also producing two annual art shows and the Artist Studio Tour. As an organizer, Asociación de Artes del Mar Cortez brings a well-established community presence and a strong track record of curating quality cultural events — most notably the Festival de Artes, the longest-running art festival on the East Cape — making it a trusted partner for events that celebrate local artisans, foster creativity, and connect visitors with the authentic cultural life of Baja California Sur.
