Casa de la Cultura Oaxaqueña, Cultural center and educational institution in Oaxaca de Juárez, Mexico.
Casa de la Cultura Oaxaqueña occupies a former convent building made of green quarry stone, with two courtyards and several classrooms dedicated to artistic activities. The complex provides space for various creative pursuits and regular exhibitions.
The building was originally the Siete Principes Convent, which functioned as a Capuchin monastery in the 18th century. It was converted to a cultural center in 1971 to support the region's artistic activities.
The center teaches Oaxaca's artistic traditions through classes in dance, music, and crafts offered throughout the year. Visitors can watch local artists and artisans share their skills and display their work.
The center offers regular art classes, workshops, and cultural events throughout the year. Visitors can register at the administrative offices to learn about current programs and activities.
The larger of the two courtyards transforms into an open-air venue for cultural performances and community gatherings. This creates an outdoor setting where dance, music, and other arts can be performed under the sky.
