Queer Summer Allied Voices

Our artist residency program, passionately dedicated to queer and queer-allied artists, is eagerly preparing for a momentous occasion: our participation in the 5th Annual Summer Pride show. This year's residency is especially designed to culminate in an expressive and impactful exhibition, celebrating the themes and essence of Pride. We warmly invite artists who identify as queer or are allies of the queer community to join us in this creative endeavor. The journey of our residency will lead to a dynamic and heartfelt display at our partner gallery in Ventura, CA, marking a special collaboration for this year's event. As we commemorate the fifth anniversary of the Summer Pride show, we look forward to showcasing the diverse and vibrant artistic expressions that embody the spirit of our community and resonate with the values of Pride.

June
Due to our exhibition in Ventura, CA we will be closed the first week of June and a few days at the end of June. We will gladly accept applications for up to 21 days following our opening on June 1. For this residency you would join a future exhibtion and potentially do a solo exhibition on the Artsy platform. Please note that CDMX Pride is Saturday June 29th. There is a robust bus service to take you to the center in 1 hour 15 minutes.

July to October
Dia de los Muertos
While our program and the resulting exhibition are inspired by the themes intrinsic to Dia de los Muertos, we encourage our artists to explore these concepts in ways that are original and distinct from the festival itself. This approach allows for a creative exploration that respects and honors the traditional aspects of the festival, yet provides a unique perspective, enhancing the depth and breadth of the artistic dialogue initiated by this cultural event.

October to January
Art Week CDMX 2025

Join our artist residency program, strategically timed with Art Week CDMX 2025, the epicenter of Latin America's contemporary art scene. Our residency offers artists an unparalleled opportunity to immerse themselves in the vibrant atmosphere and diversity of one of the largest contemporary art markets in the region. This period aligns with Art Week CDMX, providing our residents not just a space for creation but also for inspiration and connection with the forefront of contemporary art. It's an ideal platform for artists to engage with new trends, network with art professionals, and showcase their work in a context that celebrates the vitality of contemporary art.

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.
