ArteSumapaz Artist Residency

ArteSumapaz Artist Residency

Description

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.

Outcome

The residency supports artistic research and the development of new work. Outcomes may include artworks, performances, collaborations, workshops, or informal presentations during the residency. Participation in public outcomes is optional and the program remains primarily self-directed.

Accommodation Information

The main house at ArteSumapaz dates back over 100 years. The construction is primarily of adobe, with tiles floors, and clay-tile roof (quieter in the rain!). There are several private bedrooms with bathrooms, and two larger rooms with several single beds each. There is a main dining room in which residents share all meals, the library/living room, and a porch that wraps around three sides of the house.

There is space for partners and children available: they always welcome partners and children, as well as groups such as music groups.

Studio Information

They offer a range of studio and work spaces for artists, including a shared painting studio, shared 3D studio, shared movement studio, two private writer’s rooms, and a shared music studio. At the beginning of each month, we review the needs of each resident and assign workspaces based on their practice, ensuring everyone has a suitable space to work.
