Beta-Local is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting and promoting aesthetic thought and practice through various programs:
La Práctica, a post-academic study and production program, through which Fellows coming from diverse disciplines take a project from concept to production.
The Harbor: a residency program for visiting international artists, architects, designers and other cultural producers. Visitors to Beta-Local, develop projects, workshops and offer lectures on a variety of subjects related to art and other creative disciplines to the general public and to La Práctica Fellows.
La Ivan Illich, an open experimental school through which the participating public suggests, requests and creates courses and workshops.
and a full schedule of public programming which includes exhibitions, lectures, Pin-ups (open critiques), screenings and publications.
We also have a small reference library, La Esquina, focused on art and designopen once a week to the general public.
