Cultural Foundation

The birth of Workers of Pascual and Art Cultural Foundation A.C. obliges to recognize the importance of the labor movement carried out with tenacity by its workers in the first years of the 80s.

Permanently related to the construction of the Sociedad Cooperativa Trabajadores de Pascual, it is rooted in the noble solidarity of the arts area (plastic artists gatherer on its majority in the Salón de la Plástica Mexicana [Hall of Mexican Fine Arts] and the Taller de Gráfica Popular [People’s Graphic Workshop]) that donated pieces of their work to be auctioned to obtain the resources needed to kick off the starting production of the cooperative project.

Thanks to the generous support given by the Sindicato de Trabajadores de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (National University Workers Union) , and to different difficulties to market the art supply; workers decide with the aid of plastic artists, museographers and art researchers, to conserve the achieved collection and create the Cultural Foundation Pascual as a reply to the social support, aiming to “promote, incentive and spread the different cultural manifestations of the Mexican people”.
