Apapacho is PROArtes México’s arts residency and studio space in the heart of Mexico City. This international program of art-based residencies has been launched to provide space and time for artists, curators, art historians, etc, to research and network in one of the most historically and culturally profound cities in the world. As an artist-founded and operated space, we strive to provide an increasingly diverse group of artists with an affordable international residency experience. As the name ‘Apapacho’ reflects, our interest is in developing a thoughtful and caring interaction unique to each resident’s curiosities, needs, and area of focus. Programming consists of invited residencies, partially scholarship-funded residencies, and self-developed residencies lasting five to twenty-eight days.
