Περίληψη: This article explores the relationship between higher education in the arts and the policies of democratization and cultural democracy, using the University of the Arts of Ecuador as a case study. The historical and political background that led to the creation of educational projects in Latin America was analyzed, with an emphasis on breaking away from the hegemonic models of European Fine Arts schools and questioning the division between high and low culture. The trajectory of UArtes was reviewed ten years after its creation to evaluate its contribution to democratizing access to culture and its impact on shaping a situated cultural democracy. Finally, the challenges faced by public arts universities in the Latin American region in the face of global trends were discussed, highlighting their educational model and its positive relationship with the exercise of cultural democracy.
