Hosted Residency: Culture & Celebration in Mexico! 


  • headquARTers: Constitución 98 (map)

Join 360 XQMX for this exciting residency full of color and festivities. You will experience all of the glory and drama of Dia de Muertos. You can't imagine the color and the level of celebrations. There will be night excursions and day excursions and don't forget to bring your cameras or sketch books to capture every moment. Parades, exploring local towns with decorations, getting our faces painted like catrinas and watching the local kids loving trick-or-treating is just the beginning.  From an artistic perspective we will participate in an artisinal workshop, tour a bronze foundry, visit a contemporary museum and a do local mural tour.  For spirited local activities, there will be a tour to a tequila distillery and an evening at LUCHA LIBRE. With all of that, believe it or not, there will be plenty of time to wander, work on your chosen medium and simply enjoy this festive time of the year in Ajijic. You won't want to miss it. 

My time as a 360 XQMX resident artist over Dias des Muertos felt like an exceptionally positive one, and a dream. This is a wonderful space & environment for creatives to connect, reflect, create, and evolve.

The accommodations are lovely, the town is lively and accessible, the food is amazing, the weather spectacular, and the people of Chapala are very friendly. Everywhere there is color, from the flowers and trees to the facades of buildings and the legendary sunset over Lake Chapala.
