GRACIA

Antigua, Guatemala

Located in the historic and vibrant Antigua, Guatemala, the GRACIA Residency Program offers a tranquil yet stimulating environment for artists and creatives from around the globe. Established in 2019 by a Guatemalan-owned, artist-run organization, GRACIA emphasizes cross-cultural exchange, artistic practice, and personal exploration. The residency is housed in La Casita, a dedicated space for creation and community engagement, which supports interdisciplinary practices including visual arts, literature, new media, and more. The program, typically lasting two weeks, allows residents to work independently on their projects while providing substantial support such as private studios, research assistance, and local networking. Residents are encouraged to immerse themselves in the local culture and contribute to the community through workshops or artist talks. The setting offers a unique blend of local tradition and artistic innovation, fostering both reflection and creative output.
