Writers please submit two short writing samples, a CV and a description of your intended work at Obracadobra. Email submissions to
obracadobra@gmail.com by February 1, 2022. Applicants, please include the word SUMMER, your first and last name in your email subject line. ie: "SUMMER Your Name"
Who goes to Obracadobra?
Obracadobra is ideal for new media artists, painters, printmakers, photographers, illustrators, and writers. We can host two artists at a time - each with their own studio. Obracadobra is a residency for those who are looking for an opportunity to work without interruption. Nevertheless, inspiration and stimuli abound outside of your studio in the vibrant center of Oaxaca. The local art scene is welcoming and there are various communal art studios at your disposal as well as frequent art openings and events in town.
To book a studio or organize a workshop for other times of the year please visit the Casa Colonial booking page. Please note studio fees.
