Urban Arts Residency in Mexico - November 2026- February 2027 - Studio D (New studio)

The residency started in 2022 and supports art projects and artists who are willing to inspire themselves in the city of Guadalajara, in Mexico. (We give special attentions to projects that will to create social impact.) This open call is because we are launching a new studio inside our residency at a special fee for the first months! We are located in Colonia Americana, a vibrant community, which was named as the coolest neighborhood in the world by a famous international magazine, in 2023. We are inviting international and national artists from different disciplines and working on different media to live, work and join our community. The length of the residency can be from 1 to 6 months but we prioritize artists staying at least 2 months for a better understanding of the local environment. We encourage and support artists to have a final event, towards the end of their stay to show the results of their work to the local scene and we usually organize a presentation for them at the beginning of their stay in different art centers in the city. We offer support to artists in terms of logistics, communications and organization. Moreover, we constantly give suggestions and tips about events and art galleries to visit in the city. If you want to paint a mural, we have a wall available indoor in our arts residency. We are completely independent and we DO NOT have access to funds for artist to cover their expenses. However, we can provide an official invitation letter, if they want to apply to grants themselves.
