Our deep gratitude to Gerard Jara & Magda Barceló Profile: Gerard Jara, Visitor/Donor
When Spanish businessman Gerard Jara visited Art Monastery Italia in August for a long weekend with his partner Magda Barceló, he wasn’t prepared for a transformative experience. But after just three days with the artmonks, he was inspired to donate 3,000 euros, hire the Art Monastery to design his company’s holiday card, and write a beautiful email, excerpted below.
“You are working to pursue dreams of art and community, of creativity and straightforwardness… I’d like to say that there’s a holiness in what you’re trying to do, and holiness has never been an easy path to walk…
In a world of chaos and social and economic dispute, your community is a source of light and inspiration for me… What really matters is the honest and sincere spirit that you put every day into your work.”
Volunteers
Our volunteer worktrade program has become one of the Art Monastery’s most important and influential methods of outreach, publicity, and recruiting. Worktraders are like-minded souls from all over the world, who sleep in tents and work 5 hours per day, 6 days per week, performing duties from gardening and manual labor to data entry and prop making. Whether they plan to volunteer for a week or a month, they almost
always are inspired to extend their stay – some for life. The people who have come through this program have touched the Artmonks’ lives as much as the project has touched theirs, and we are profoundly grateful for their contributions.
