Mabel House
A community arts center in Aldona, Goa
Operated by Aldona Arts Foundation
Culture. Consciousness. Community.
Mabel House is named after Mabel Menezes, a lifelong educator and believer in the power of learning and community.
The house was inherited by her daughter, Dr. Graciela Tavares, who chose to dedicate the space to the arts and the community by offering it to the Aldona Arts Foundation.
Today, Mabel House continues Mabel’s legacy as a place where creativity, dialogue, and learning come together.
Revenue generated through programmes at Mabel House supports the Foundation’s educational initiatives, including the SpArK programme.
