The Sierra Artist Residency was founded by Nina Arias, as part of her retreat center’ (Gitana del Mar)’s way of giving back to the community. The goal is to provide a cultural exchange between artists and youth in their community. Working with over 20 local, rural, low-resourced schools, Visitors can donate school supplies and participate in school programs. They collaboratively created a coloring book: Cuidando el Corazon del Mundo (Caring for the Heart of the World), teaching children about their history and indigenous roots. Buy a book, and 5 will be donated on behalf of your purchase. Plan a retreat and support their community.
