Located in a private home in the outskirts of Antigua Guatemala, the residency hosts and collaborates with international & local artists and non-artists across all fields to support research, creation and connection surrounding creative work, process and purpose.

Our residency program is focused on your creative practice and all the ways it can manifest. We provide research assistance and guidance towards project development and local resources.

GRACIA aims to introduce residents to the Guatemala that Guatemalans are constantly inspired by.

Previous residents have included filmmakers, painters, photographers, writers, and others.
