ArteSumapaz Artist Residency

ArteSumapaz is a rural artist residency in the Andes mountains of Colombia offering time, space, and studios for artists working across disciplines. ArteSumapaz is located on Hacienda Australia, on 181 fanegadas (116 hectares, or 288 acres). The property is located in the municipality of San Bernardo, Cundinamarca, about three hours outside of Bogotá. In recent years, the property had been used as a cow farm, although historically the farm was part of a larger coffee plantation. All around the property you can still encounter the remains of former buildings that housed the workers, a school, and other remains of what was formerly here. Extensive trails lead to waterfalls, an ancient indigenous petroglyph, and a wealth of natural settings.
