Juannio 2025: An Evening of Art with a Charitable Purpose

Juannio returns this June 10th with an auction of Latin American art to benefit the Neurological Institute of Guatemala (ING). The evening will be held at the Miraflores Museum, where aesthetics, social commitment, and solidarity converge. The exhibition is now open to the public, and the invitation is extended.

It's news. Juannio 2025, Guatemala's most emblematic contemporary art exhibition and auction, opens its doors with a noble purpose: to support the expansion of ING's services. The auction gala will be on Tuesday, June 10th at 7:00 PM.

The auction will take place at the Miraflores Museum (7 Calle 21-55, Zone 11, Paseo Miraflores). Admission is Q200 and reservations can be made by calling 2471-1160.
The dress code for the event is formal. Guatemalan and Latin American artists will participate, whose works will be presented in an exhibition open and free to the public until July 13.
The proceeds will fund the Remote Care Program (PADI), an innovative educational and therapeutic platform that provides specialized care to people with intellectual disabilities or autism throughout the country.

Between the lines. Beyond an art gala, Juannio supports the development of inclusive technologies in health and education. His funds support programs like PADI, a digital solution that provides specialized care to communities without access to services.

The Remote Care Program (PADI) was developed by the Institute and began its pilot program in September 2024. Today, it serves 100 children in 10 departments.
Through an online platform, PADI offers occupational therapy, functional education, physical therapy, psychological support, and family counseling to children, youth, and adults.
“We want to reach the entire country and eventually Spanish-speaking communities around the world,” said Lorena Forno de Pinot, executive director of the ING (National Institute of Statistics and Censuses).
Highlights. With more than 16,000 digital content pieces developed by experts, PADI is positioning itself as a replicable model for inclusive care. The program already works with entities such as the Municipality of Guatemala, SOSEP (National Institute of Public Education), and the Ministry of Social Welfare.

The ING (National Institute of Statistics and Censuses) designed this platform based on the National Core Curriculum, adapted to a functional approach that promotes autonomy and full inclusion.
PADI offers remote diagnosis, individualized intervention, and mapping tools to identify undiagnosed cases, all from home.
The immediate goal is to reach 400 users in the next three months, with multisector support. In the medium term, it aims to position itself as a regional benchmark.

What's next. Juannio's gala represents an opportunity for citizens and the private sector to actively engage with the future of inclusion. On the evening of June 10th, not only will works of art be auctioned, but also opportunities for social transformation.

“We invite committed companies, institutions, and citizens to join this life-changing initiative,” stated Forno de Pinot.
The funds will expand the program's reach and strengthen new partnerships for replication outside of Guatemala.
The exhibition, free and open until July 13th, seeks to raise public awareness about the value of art as a vehicle for social change.
