Teralta Art, founded by Maggie Shen during the pandemic, stands firm in the belief that art transcends museum walls and has been an integral part of our daily existence since ancient times. Through art found at archaeological sites, we witness how communities lived, creatively tackled everyday challenges, showcased regional aesthetics, and even how children learned and played. Art breathes life into culture; those who create it contribute to this profound process. We staunchly advocate that art-making should be an inclusive opportunity, especially for children, reflecting life across all circumstances—be it during a pandemic or times of conflict. Art serves as a sanctuary, sheltering hearts in need, and as an outlet, allowing emotions to flow freely.
Teralta Art’s studio is located in City Heights, San Diego—a diverse area mainly inhabited by immigrant, refugee, and economically disadvantaged communities—dedicates itself to ensuring equitable art access. Our outreach and programs aim to empower these individuals to engage in the shaping of our regional culture through art-making.
Since our inception in June 2021, we've provided over 2520 individuals with low-cost or free ceramics classes. Many of our regular patrons have not only found solace within our studio but have also forged new connections, fostering a strong sense of community both within and beyond our walls. As responsible citizens, our aspiration is to cultivate a virtuous cycle through art—a continuous positive loop that strengthens bonds and nurtures a thriving community spirit!
