Established in 2003, just a year after the restoration of Timor-Leste in 2002, Arte Moris offers a place for young Timorese to express themselves through art while helping them bond and share positive values about their country. Young people and children search for their identity at a very young age by observing and recognising the environment around them in the search of who they are and Arte Moris provides such a space for them.

I sincerely hope the government of Timor-Leste can reconsider its decision and to allow Arte Moris to continue its existence as a public space for arts. The creativity and originality of the Timorese artists in Arte Moris and also across the country is admiring.
