(Seguin) – A local organization is being awarded for its overall contributions to a person’s overall health.
Teatro De Artes De Juan Seguin has been awarded a $5,000 Union Pacific Community Ties Giving grant to enhance its Healing and Wellness through Dance, Music, and Arts programs. The funding will help expand opportunities that promote cultural pride, artistic expression, and holistic well-being throughout the community.
The initiative offers intergenerational programming that highlights the restorative power of the arts. From Ballet Folklórico and Mariachi to visual arts and creative workshops, participants of all ages—from youth to elders—can engage in activities that encourage self-expression, connection, and healing in Seguin and neighboring rural areas.
“Art has the power to heal, to inspire, and to unite communities,” said Dr. Yvonne M. De La Rosa, executive director of Teatro De Artes De Juan Seguin. “Thanks to Union Pacific’s support, we will continue to expand access to culturally rooted arts programs that strengthen the body, mind, and spirit while fostering a deeper sense of belonging.”
The Union Pacific Community Ties Giving Program provides local grants to organizations dedicated to creating safe, prosperous, and vibrant communities. Program officials say Teatro’s commitment to cultural preservation, education, and wellness closely aligns with Union Pacific’s mission to invest in projects that make a lasting impact.
