What Makes Casa Lü Special

 

​Location. Mexico City, the cultural heart of Mexico, offers a unique blend of historical depth and a vibrant contemporary art scene. With its abundance of authentic markets, renowned galleries, and iconic museums, the city provides endless opportunities for exploration.

​

Run by Artists. All hosts are artists actively involved in Mexico City's art scene. As artists, we understand the art-making process, along with its challenges and rewards.

 

​Program Designed by Experience. With seven years of insights from hundreds of residents and hosts, our program is constantly evolving. We love hosting and continuously improve and refine our programs.

​

Practical Approach. Through hands-on experimentation, residents explore ideas, materials, and techniques. Their progress is reviewed and discussed throughout the residency, culminating in a final exhibition to share the outcomes of their work.

​

The Space. The residency is set in two unique houses with gardens, private bedrooms, and abundant natural light, providing an ideal environment for creative work.
