Where Every Brushstroke Tells a Story of Connection and Care

At Cindiarte.cr, we create a safe, inclusive space where children with autism and elderly individuals connect, express, and thrive through the healing power of art.
 Through drawing, painting, and sensory creativity, we support emotional expression, reduce stress, and build lasting bonds—one brushstroke at a time.

Who we are?

A heart-driven initiative based in Costa Rica, dedicated to nurturing the emotional and creative lives of two often-overlooked communities: children on the autism spectrum and elderly individuals.

We believe in the quiet power of art — not just as a form of expression, but as a bridge between worlds, ages, and emotions. Our safe, inclusive spaces invite participants to explore their feelings, develop motor and cognitive skills, and form meaningful social connections through drawing, painting, and other sensory art activities.

Led by passionate art facilitators and caregivers, Cindiarte is more than a program — it's a place where empathy, creativity, and healing meet.

Our Values

  • We provide a nurturing environment where everyone feels safe to be themselves.

  • We use creative expression to support emotional well-being and personal growth.

  • We bring children and elders together through shared creativity and understanding.

Our Services

Kids

We offer creative sessions designed to help children on the autism spectrum express emotions, improve fine motor skills, and engage in calming sensory experiences — all through drawing and painting in a safe, supportive environment.

Elders

Our art programs help seniors stay mentally and emotionally active through painting and creative expression. Each session encourages memory retention, hand coordination, and meaningful social connection in a warm, respectful setting.
