The surroundings of the Den in Las Palmas
The Den that we found in the city is a great hideaway. We promise we will never do illicit activities there, but other than that the description above pretty much fits to the place. It is a two floor studio space that is perfect for small meetings, office work, art making. We already did a part of a thai massage course there too! We organized exhibitions, projections and pranayama class. And much more to come!
The mission
The Den is a collective space for those who care for similar values: building a more harmonious place on earth by awareness, self-development, care for others and the environment around you by the tools of education and art.
The vision
The Den is a place that can transform itself. It can be an office, a living room, a study room, a creative studio, a photography laboratory or a rehearsal room. It can be many other things that we dream it for. It is all about the creativity and the need of us. We want the Den to be a meeting point to people who enjoy Camino Art House. The Den is a small Camino in the heart of the city.
Events
From the winter of 2024 the Den will be open to visitors. We are planning to organize film clubs, discussion events, exhibitions, travellers’ story telling evenings and many more. For the events, please follow the Camino website.
