While we aspire to offer all these invaluable opportunities at no cost to the artists, the reality of achieving this is quite challenging. However, our residency program stands out by offering high levels of engagement and diverse exhibition opportunities at a fraction of the cost of traditional residency programs, which often have more limited outcomes.
We provide artists with a vibrant connection to an active creative studio arts community, emphasizing exposure across multiple platforms such as publishing, podcasts, group and solo exhibitions, both online and in physical spaces like Mexico City, Mexico, and other partner locations.
Our commitment is to empower artists by offering these extensive opportunities, ensuring their voices are heard and their work is seen in a dynamic and supportive environment.
Please contact us directly to determine the cost based. on your specific needs. We cater this group to each artist and family needs. You may require more one-on-one time or special reporting to family or school for credits. Our basic rate starts at 10,000 pesos (about $525 USD).
