This program is designed for artists with intermediate to extensive experience, offering a vibrant environment to foster experimentation, risk-taking, and innovation. Immersed in a dynamic cultural scene, residents explore the city's markets, architecture, museums, and diverse creative expressions. The program provides focused studio time to develop their projects, along with curated cultural experiences, and feedback opportunities. This supportive atmosphere encourages residents to push boundaries, discover new forms of expression, and engage deeply with their practice.

Residency Schedule
The day after arrival, we typically host a welcome breakfast followed by an introductory meeting. During this meeting, we review the Residents Manual, activities calendar, house rules, and hold a Q&A session. After the group meeting, each resident has one-on-one time with our coordinator to discuss their projects and needs, ensuring a smooth transition.
Every week, we take residents on outings to some of our favorite spots in the city, including galleries, museums, artists' studios, and other cultural destinations. Additionally, residents meet weekly with our coordinator, team members, or guest speakers for group or individual sessions to discuss their work.
The program concludes with a group exhibition in our gallery space, opening on the final Friday of the residency and remaining on display throughout the weekend.
Our residency program is filled with organized activities designed to immerse residents in the artistic and cultural life of Mexico City. As schedules can become quite full, we recommend that prospective residents consider arriving in Mexico City a week early. This extra time allows for sightseeing and cultural exploration, ensuring artists can fully focus on their creative projects during their residency at Casa Lü.
