Empathy
We understand and value the emotions of each student, creating an environment of trust.
Our History
A dream that was born to transform education through art.
CAPI was born in 2021 from a shared dream: to create a place where children and youth in Samaipata could discover their talents through art. Founded by Liliana Navía and Mónica Navía, our center is more than a cultural center: it is a creative sanctuary where each student finds their voice.
As a non-profit organization, every resource is invested directly in our students and programs. What started as a project of two sisters passionate about education is now a seedbed of talents where art and pedagogy merge to transform lives.
We live in a world where young people spend more and more time in front of screens and less time connected with their community. At CAPI, we believe that art is the perfect bridge to reconnect: between parents and children, between teachers and students, between dreams and reality.
We don't just teach artistic techniques or school subjects. We accompany each child and young person in discovering who they are, what passionates them, and how they can contribute to the world. Because we believe that every student is a potential talent that deserves a safe environment to project their future with confidence.
Our Values
Creativity
We encourage free thinking and the ability to imagine new possibilities.
Excellence
We are committed to high pedagogical standards in every workshop and activity.
