Arte Moris is a not-for-profit Fine Art School, Cultural Centre and Art Community based in Dili, East Timor. Since 2003 Arte Moris has been using the creative arts as a building block for psychological and social reconstruction of a country devastated by violence.
Now one of the most successful youth projects in Timor, Arte Moris provides talented young people a direct means of creatively exploring their world, their unique history and heritage, their personal experiences, and their dreams for the future. Crucially, it also aims to provide the skills and experience for these young people to become teachers, full-time artists, and/or key producers in a future Timorese creative industries sector.
