Application Requirements

You will be required to send a bio, resume and (6) images or examples of your work. We also ask that your artist statement address how your Dia de Muertos experience will translate into the work you are doing during the residency and the work you do when you return to your home studio. 

Eligibility Criteria

Any artist, writer or musician is welcome to submit an application. A panel of respected artists and writers from the Ajijic community will be chosen to review the submissions and decide on the chosen artist. 

There will be a lot of walking and Ajijic is a charming village with wonky sidewalks and "cobblestone" streets. You must be able-bodied for this active residency, as we will be "on the go" most days.
