# Artist Residency Space – MAY 2026 – Colombia

**Hosted by:** ArteSumapaz

**Type:** Residency | **Location:** Bogota, Colombia | **Deadline:** April 3, 2026

## About This Program

ArteSumapaz is a non-profit arts and culture nonprofit organization located on a magical piece of terrain in the Andean mountains, about four hours outside Bogotá. The artist residency program (AIR) is designed for visual artists, musicians, writers, architects, clay artists, performers, and other makers. It is a self-directed residency, where artists have full access to studio spaces of all kinds (visual art, music, movement, writing, etc.) throughout the vast and beautiful campus that includes a natural park in process of about 230 acres. Artists are given the space, freedom, and encouragement to explore and experiment with their work. The artists are welcome to participate in weekly "open critique" sessions (group discussions about their work), to share workshops or exhibitions with ArteSumapaz's artist community or the communities of nearby towns as San Bernardo Cundinamarca and Pandi.
