  Art Education Program

 

Promote awareness and support for local art and culture when you volunteer with our Art Education Program in Bolivia.

As a volunteer in our Art Education Program in Santa Cruz, you will be working side-by-side local artists, musicians and museum curators while promoting Bolivian art and music.

Volunteers who have music and/or theater experience will be able to participate in the local performing arts scene. You will have the chance to showcase your personal skills, teaching workshops about your music and acting, as well as performing for groups of people. You will also have the opportunity to promote and participate in the national music fair during the annual music festival in Santa Cruz.

Volunteers in Bolivia also have the option of working at a local museum dedicated to indigenous art and history. The museum has a nice collection of artifacts, but is always looking for more items to display. You will have the opportunity to help find new art for the museum by traveling around Santa Cruz and contacting local art dealers and owners. You will also be able to help the museum staff work on new displays, promote new exhibits, and guide museum tours.

As a volunteer with our Art Education Program in Bolivia, you will be using your skills and talents to promote education about local art and music.

As a volunteer you can choose to:
Teach music and/or theater to local citizens

Comments from Our Volunteers
  Emma Williams
  “I travelled and volunteered in Bolivia in 2004. I learnt a great deal from my placement and from spending time with [the project coordinator]. In particular she assisted me in learning the language, and about Bolivia's culture and people. I would not have any problems recommending Bolivia as a place to visit and [the coordinator] as a great person to meet whilst in the country.”
