This bibliographical documentary work analyzes the fundamental role of art in promoting sustainability and quality education within the framework of Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4) of the UN 2030 Agenda and in the context of Industry 4.0. The study exposes the paradox that, despite its transformative potential, art is often marginalized in sustainability-oriented education systems. The study reviews the evolution of the relationship between art and industrial revolutions, highlighting how each technological stage has influenced the forms and functions of art. The method was based on an analytical, documentary, and bibliographic approach, which included a critical and systematic review of specialized secondary sources, such as books, scientific articles, theses, institutional reports, and academic documents. The selection of documents was carried out through searches in recognized academic databases and digital libraries, such as Google Scholar, Scielo, Redalyc, Latindex, Copérnico, university repositories and the journal portal of the University of Panama, prioritizing sources published between 1999 and 2023. The epistemic dimensions of art were addressed from Western and Global South perspectives, highlighting its value as a generator of knowledge, resistance and social transformation, with examples from Latin America and Panama.
