Nestled in the lush and vibrant Hipódromo Condesa neighborhood, our modern art hotel, gallery, and studio space serve as an oasis for creativity in the heart of Mexico City’s thriving art scene. The area is brimming with galleries, studios, and an array of eclectic restaurants, offering endless inspiration and discovery opportunities throughout your stay.
About the residency:
Our residency is dedicated to providing a thoughtfully curated, welcoming space where international artists can immerse themselves in creation while experiencing the rich cultural and artistic heritage of Mexico City. We aim to foster cross-cultural connections by introducing resident artists to local curators, galleries, and fellow creators, creating an atmosphere that encourages artistic growth and collaboration across borders.
We have cultivated relationships with local artisans skilled in diverse disciplines, including oil painting, acrylics, watercolors, ceramics, music technology, creative writing, sculpture, collage, screen printing, lithography, and more. As part of the residency, artists will have the opportunity to participate in two workshops led by these local experts, with the option to engage in additional workshops for a small fee.
To further enrich the residency experience, we offer guided tours of the city’s historical landmarks, museums, national galleries, and parks. For those seeking exploration beyond the city, our partners provide excursions to the awe-inspiring pyramids, the picturesque Pueblo Mágicos, the serene Xochimilco canals, and scenic hiking trails.
During their residency, artists will work toward a group exhibition, hosted by our main gallery space, #Hashtag Gallery, during the final week of their stay. The exhibition runs from Thursday to Saturday and will open in conjunction with the gallery's regularly scheduled show to increase attendance and get more eyes on your work! We also offer an option for artists to extend their stay by an additional week to continue creating or explore more of the city’s artistic offerings.
Each artist also has the unique opportunity to leave a lasting mark on our gallery by contributing a 6”x8” piece to the gallery’s permanent collection. We will produce a limited edition (20 prints) two-color screen print of this artwork, with 60% of the sales proceeds going directly to the artist, offering a chance to help recoup residency fees.
