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 lost an important interview with Sandra, I think that if it wasn’t for that I would have had a better approach to the pieces I worked in.
The staff is amazing, everyone is very heart welcoming and they are very willing to help develop our projects.
Great space to meet other artists and explore Mexico City's cultural spaces. The hosts are so helpful and the space is magical and beautiful. Housing is really comfy and has lots of communal space to hang out at Casa Lü Parque, close to everything from metro to restaurants. There are some great moments for critique with local artists and cultural writers which helps any emerging artist form greater conceptual development of their work. The time goes by quickly even though the residency is 26 days for the shortest one, it is a good challenge for any visual artist to develop work. The other residents were very nice and there was a lot of opportunity to rest as well as work in communal space.
The staff is awesome and very resourceful. The residency is well organized and communication is exceptional. I have already recommended the residency to other artists and am very satisfied with my time at Casa Lü. I wish there had been more artists studio visits and maybe a list of workshops artists can take of different techniques in various mediums.
Decent studio space, beautiful green surroundings, possibility to exchange with other artists in residence, interesting program of outings and gallery/museum visits for research, very helpful and reactive Staff, curator's visits in the studio.
