Art Tours & Workshops
in Oaxaca, Mexico and New Orleans.

Join Mija Matriz and Jon Labrousse for life enriching cultural tours and art workshops in beautiful Oaxaca de Juarez. We’ll explore this magical city rich in culture with world renowned artisans, delicious food, ancient ruins, vibrant markets,  beautiful people, and lovely colonial architecture. 

And in 2026, we’ll be in land of art and jazz, New Orleans, Louisiana, with the wizard of wild and wonderful art, Michael deMeng. New Orleans has a remarkable culture, vibrant with multi-cultural art, lore and music. 

Our time in these amazing places will delight your senses, ignite your creativity and feed your spirit.

In May 2026, join Michael deMeng in New Orleans, Louisiana for a journey into the mystical world of music. We’ll take broken musical relics and retune them—not to play, but to speak. Come engage in NOLA’s thriving art scene with us. We’ll frolic with ghosts, be enchanted by live music, and explore the bayou on an air boat. Follow the link for all the details.
