ARCOS is a nonprofit initiative founded by acclaimed cultural lecturer Gregorio Luke, former Director of the Museum of Latin American Art. Our mission is simple: to make the world’s greatest art and stories accessible to everyone — no travel, no ticket, no barriers.
We bring museum-quality lectures and visual storytelling directly into neighborhoods, classrooms, and senior communities. Whether in a school gym, a library, or a retirement home, we create powerful, engaging, and deeply human cultural experiences where they’re needed most.
