Artist Residence
Villa Nalu
Located in the South end of Isla Mujeres, Nalu Art openly welcomes artists from all over the world to come and share our space. Our intention for this residencia is essentially to promote intercultural exchanges and build a creative and collaborative network of artists from all over the world. An opportunity to learn something new, share your current knowledge, collaborate and be inspired. We offer a variety of accommodation and workshop spaces depending on the needs of each and every artist. Our accommodation options vary from private villas with ocean views to suites with shared communal spaces. Within your stay at Casa Nalu or Villa Nalu, we welcome you to live a unique creative experience and immerse yourself, to relax, to discover and to connect with the space and community as you surround yourself with unique art works. Nalu Art offer access to numerous different spaces for work with a variety of different mediums. From wood, clay and silver, to graphic and paint. Our workshops are on the same property to the accommodation and close proximity to our gallery. Artists may also organize workshops within these spaces or exhibitions at Nalu art gallery. Each residency is unique and varies depending on length of stay, workshop space, project, accommodation and your intention for stay.
Casa Nalu
These are the terms of collaboration we have successfully practiced in the past and are interested in perceiving in 2024 and beyond:
- Intercultural exchange in the form of us providing accommodation and you teach us your skills, techniques, etc.
- Exchange – We provide accommodation in exchange for 3 or 4 pieces. (depending on the value of pieces and curriculum) We can also accept more pieces on commission to sell within the gallery.
- Exchange – daily hours of work for your stay – your work on the decided collaboration
- Work on your own project if you are already experienced in the use of different materials and machines – Pay for accommodation
