Pocoapoco: Annual Supporters Trip, 2025
Four days in Oaxaca, immersed in arts & culture.
October 22-26 Oaxaca, Mexico
Now, more than ever, the arts need your support.
For nearly ten years, Pocoapoco’s work has been directly addressing the increasing pressure to divorce cross-border communities and construct societies based in insularity and intolerance.
Our annual four-day trip acts as an important reminder of the power of the arts to connect & inspire us. A highly-curated program for supporters of the arts, this immersive experience is filled with studio visits, film screenings, music, meals & performances in private homes, studios & cultural spaces.
Guests have the opportunity to meet & talk with a remarkable network of visual artists, cultural workers and creative visionaries working across broad forms of contemporary and traditional practice. Coming together, we have the power to make a difference.
