Yucatán Artist Residency

Experience Yucatán’s coast while swinging in a hammock at an island home directly on the beach. Offering expansive views of the Gulf of Mexico, the Yucatán Artist Residency at Casa Ocea sits directly on the island's beach in the sleepy fishing village of Chuburná Puerto, Mexico.

Awarded artists are granted exclusive use of the entire property for rest and relaxation with collaborators, friends, and family—accommodating up to 8 guests comfortably, with a maximum of 10. While the residency is primarily intended as a retreat, artists are welcome to continue their creative practice during their stay if they wish.

There is no dedicated studio space on site; however, artists may work on the patios or other outdoor areas. Nearby stone fabrication facilities are available for those interested in working with stone. Additionally, henequen, a traditional material of the region, along with other site-specific practices, offers opportunities for exploration.

Residency dates will be booked based on availability of Casa Ocea and the artist. Artists are expected to provide their own transportation. The residency director and support staff will be available to help plan your stay and extend invitations to any cultural events if occurring in the area. You will have the oceanfront home to yourself. There are also times when the director can stay at Casa Ocea with you and act as your host.
