Residency for Creatives
at Lake Chapala
Your precious time. Our charming community. Welcome home.
In the heart of Lake Chapala
The 360 XQMX residency is located in Ajijic, Jalisco on the northern shore of Lake Chapala in Mexico. Ajijic is a lively village that is comprised of colorful neighborhoods, galleries, shops and restaurants. The artistic community here is strong and you will find many art supply shops. The traditions and rich culture of the Mexican people will provide endless inspiration for your creative endeavours.
“Doing an artist residency at 360 XQ was one of the best decisions of my life and art career. I loved that I didn’t have to apply and get accepted because I’m in a transition phase of my work and wanted the opportunity to have space and time to create pieces that weren’t perfect, and to have the freedom to explore. Bethany gave me that freedom and support.”
