A new center for creative studies in central Oaxaca acts as gallery and residence, hosting international artists selected by the community throughout the year. Artists expand their practice while learning local indigenous techniques in textiles, tile making, plastic arts, culinary arts, and ceramics.
Fusing modern aesthetic with traditional materials, the space provides a contemporary take on Oaxaca's fine craftsmanship.
