Alas de Agua and our ever-evolving community of artists offer free art workshops based on our interests. We invite anyone with a passion or skill to share to come teach a workshop, and we can help you plan it if you need support. We also encourage all who take workshops at Alas to display their amazing work at group art shows in our space.
