About the residency
Anima Casa Rural is an artist residency located in the countryside of Jalisco, Mexico, founded on the principle of providing a contemplative and materially grounded environment for creative work. The residency operates from a restored hacienda, offering artists space to develop projects away from urban pressures, with an emphasis on process over product. Its ethos is shaped by a commitment to slowness, site-specificity, and the exchange between visiting artists and the local context. The program is small-scale and self-directed, allowing for a high degree of autonomy while fostering informal dialogue among residents.

Applicants should approach Anima Casa Rural with a clear sense of what they hope to accomplish in a self-directed, rural context. The residency favors proposals that demonstrate a need for time, space, and minimal distraction rather than those requiring extensive technical support or public outcomes. A concise project description, work samples, and a realistic plan for the residency period are essential. Given the limited number of places, early applications and a thoughtful match with the residency's ethos of slowness and site-specific engagement are advised.
