Casa Lu (Casa Lü)
Mexico City, Mexico
Such a great experience overall. A perfect balance of days in the peaceful garden setting to work and reflect with excursions into Mexico City to feast on the wealth of art, culture and history. While we were not right in the center of the gallery scene, I loved the south of the city where there is plenty to see including the fantastic contemporary art museum at UNAM, the Luis Barragan buildings in Tlalpan and Jardines de Pedregal, and the zocalito in Tlalpan is delightful.

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.
