About
Casa Lü is a creative community sanctuary in Mexico City, fostering artistic and personal growth through immersive art experiences, inspired by the Tibetan concept of 'lü', emphasizing life as a temporary journey. The residency, tailored by artists for artists, aims to cultivate global dialogue and showcase the vibrant local art scene, offering residents a chance to explore and integrate with Mexico City's dynamic cultural landscape. Casa Lü hosts international artists, providing a supportive environment with living and/or working spaces, and fostering a collaborative atmosphere with a diverse group of six artists-in-residence per session. Two distinct programs are offered: the Regular Residency Program for experienced artists, and the Emerging Artist Residency Program, specifically designed for artists at the beginning of their journey or transitioning from other disciplines. Both programs include accommodation, studio space, logistical support, art scene excursions, weekly meetings for project feedback, and a group exhibition with professional documentation. The Emerging Artist Program additionally offers educational elements like workshops for portfolio development and lectures on the Mexican contemporary art scene. Located between Roma, Condesa, San Ángel, and Coyoacán, the residency is near 'Parque Hundido' park, offering a serene environment with convenient access to the city's rich artistic offerings. Casa Lü's thoughtful schedule includes welcome events, weekly excursions, interactive sessions, open studios, and a concluding group exhibition, fostering deep connections between resident artists and the local community.

I had a great time in Casa Lü! The staff is very friendly and helpful, and the studio and accommodation are good. The outings and conversations offered by the residency is focusing on Mexican culture and the Mexico City art scene, so it is quite important for participating artists to have an interest in this.

Casa Lü offered a 6 weeks residency ( with 5 artists ) in a beautiful house with a cute garden and outdoors space in a quiet neighborhood of Mexico City. The program was thoughtfully curated to match (as much as possible of course) the artists interests, art and needs. From cultural outings to studio visits, coffee tours to evening outings, the support, availability and communication with the staff was absolutely amazing. Weekly meetings were organized with renowned curator and external artists throughout the entire residency, along with punctual meetings and activities (never mandatory though). The help and support they offer is of great quality and truly helpful, without ever feeling like it was too much, the balance between privacy/alone time and activities/meetings is very well balanced ! The studios (and the kitchen and the rooms) are gorgeous, bright, spacious, and come with more than the basic tools and materials + a lot of local stores in the area sell quality art materials. Mexico City has sooo much to offer. I could go on and on about my time at Casa Lü, the whole experience was beyond my expectations on all levels !
