General Maintenance
In our space, you’ll learn about managing an art center, from curation to administration. You’ll connect with the artists in our space and join in our the artistic sub-cultures of Oaxaca. This also means being part of a community outside our space, going to events and partaking in social activities with those involved.
Our space is managed young women from a variety of backgrounds, who all help out in whatever is needed, all tasks our workawayers can really help with. This can be daily tasks like cleaning up the space and some light gardening, to the occasional construction, mounting art, support with classes (even teaching classes, if that’s something the volunteer is interested in), painting, helping artists, or any other maintenance and support that an come up in our kind of space.
