Who goes to Obracadobra?
Obracadobra is ideal for new media artists, painters, printmakers, photographers, illustrators, and writers. We can host up to twelve artists at a time depending on material and studio needs. 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, 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.
