Asociacion Manantial de Arte
The Asociación Manantial de Arte is dedicated to using the performing arts as a means of promoting environmental protection. Based in the Valle de Dílar, at the foot of Sierra Nevada, the association integrates artistic activities with permaculture practices, offering programmes for all ages, including older adults, families, and children. It hosts volunteers from around the world, artistic residencies, masterclasses in performing arts, events, and festivals.
While the Asociación Manantial de Arte leads artistic and environmental initiatives, Finca La Furriola serves as its physical space, hosting its residencies, events, and ecological activities.
The association collaborates with various institutions, including the Municipality of Dílar, the Diputación de Granada, the Junta de Andalucía, the Ministry of Culture, and the European Committee, while also maintaining an extensive network of both local and international projects.
