The Instituto Nacional de Bellas Artes y Literatura (INBAL, English: National Institute of Fine Arts and Literature), located in the Palacio de Bellas Artes in Mexico City, is the Mexican institution in charge of coordinating artistic and cultural activities (both at the political and the educational level) in the country.
On November 23, "1946," president Miguel AlemĂĄn ValdĂ©s proposed the creation of the INBA. And it was formally opened on 1 January 1947, as a branch of the SecretarĂa de EducaciĂłn PĂșblica (SEP). The first head of the INBA was Carlos ChĂĄvez, who created a new orchestra for the Conservatory, the current Orquesta SinfĂłnica Nacional.
The institute includes many departments, artistic ensembles, three national centers for storage of the literary stock, 29 schools and "further institutions." The school of design and handicrafts was founded by José Chåvez Morado in 1962.
One of the important services the institute provides for the nation is to protect, along with the Instituto Nacional de AntropologĂa e Historia, monuments and buildings deemed cultural patrimony. INAH is entrusted with 'archaeological' (pre-Hispanic and paleontological) and 'historical' (post-Conquest 16th to 19th centuries) structures, zones and remnants, while INBAL is entrusted with 'artistic' buildings and monuments (properties that are of significant aesthetic value). The valuation of aesthetic value is left to the ComisiĂłn Nacional de Zonas y Monumentos ArtĂsticos (National Commission of Artistic Zones and Monuments). This commission is composed of the Director of INBAL, a representative of the SecretarĂa de Desarrollo Urbano y EcologĂa, a representative of UNAM, and three individuals affiliated with the arts picked by the Director. Edifices deemed worthy by the commission are catalogued in the Registro PĂșblico de Monumentos y Zonas ArtĂsticos (Public Register of Artistic Monuments and Zones).
The institute provides education from elementary school through to postgraduate level; one of the educational institutions that INBAL manages is CEDARTS (centros de educaciĂłn artĂstica or artistic education centers, in English) which is focused on artistic education.
There are 12 CEDARTS in Mexico, three in Mexico City and the rest in some other states.
- CEDART "Alfonso Reyes" Monterrey, Nuevo LeĂłn
- CEDART "David Alfaro Siqueiros" Chihuahua, Chihuahua
- CEDART "Diego Rivera" Ciudad de MĂ©xico, CDMX
- CEDART "Emilio Abreu GĂłmez" MĂ©rida, YucatĂĄn
- CEDART "Frida Kahlo" Ciudad de MĂ©xico, CDMX
- CEDART "Ignacio Mariano de las Casas" Querétaro, Querétaro
- CEDART "José Clemente Orozco" Guadalajara, Jalisco
- CEDART "José Eduardo Pierson" Hermosillo, Sonora
- CEDART "Juan Rulfo" Colima, Colima
- CEDART "Luis Spota Saavedra" Ciudad de MĂ©xico, CDMX
- CEDART "Miguel Bernal Jiménez" Morelia, Michoacån
- CEDART "Miguel Cabrera" Oaxaca, Oaxaca
In addition to the educational offerings, there are museums, galleries and buildings under the INBAL management, that the institute often uses to present different types of artistic entertainment to the general public, such as "tempestad" or a season of flamenco dance.
