What artists said about Casa Lü Sur

I felt so happy, supported, and peaceful at El Sur. The wonderful folks who run and staff the residency were insightful, kind, and welcoming in a profound sense. It felt beautiful from start to finish, from the garden to the studio to the final exhibition.

Staying at El Sur was the best I could have wished for. The neighborhood is preserved from gentrification, I felt like I was in a small town whilst perfectly connected to Mexico's many centralities.
