Courses and Workshops       art     creative writing     culture      Spanish     olive production

LaCultura was established in 2005. We offer courses and workshops in Cultural Studies, Creative Writing, Art and Design (Contemporary Art, Ceramics, Painting, Artists' Books, Concrete, Land Art, Art Theory, and more) and courses in Spanish language.  We bring in only professional teachers from colleges and universities from all over the world. The courses comprise both theory and practical application; lectures, discussions, individual work and advising.  Our groups are small and we give much attention to individual students. We are located in the small historical village of Cútar, hidden in the coastal mountains not far from the sea. Our students usually stay in our hostel.
