Fábrica de Artes y Oficios Oriente
The Fábrica de Artes y Oficios Oriente (Arts and Trades Factory East), better known as FARO or FARO Oriente is a cultural center and training facility located in the Iztapalapa borough of Mexico City. It is the only major cultural facility on this side of the city. It was inaugurated in 2000 with the aim of providing educational and cultural opportunities for some of the most marginalized populations in Mexico City, providing an alternative to gangs and drugs. Today, the facility serves about 320,000 people each year, mostly from Iztapalapa but attracting youth from other areas of Mexico City as well. It provides free classes in various arts, handcrafts and trade skills as well as concerts, art exhibits, book presentations and more. In 2002, it received the Coming Up Taller Award from the United States.
