Abstract
Educators worldwide confront challenges induced by sociocultural exchanges raised in pluralist contexts. One of the fundamental aspects of this article is to revise multicultural projects implemented in The United States of America and other European, African and Asian countries. They reiterate the validity of public policies based in reforms to educate "minorities" and instruct educators about ethno-cultural policies. On the other hand, the findings of studies in various nations reveal teachers ignore theories, models and strategies with a multicultural approach. Specifically, this paper focuses on the potential of art teachers in the development of cultural citizens. Therefore, we suggest some courses and innovative programs that have been successful as part of teaching education programs of Fine Arts. Also, we identify multicultural approaches that could be considered in the elaboration of Puerto Rico‘s art curriculum.
