Residency for Creatives
at Lake Chapala

Your precious time. Our charming community. Welcome home.

In the heart of Lake Chapala

The 360 XQMX residency is located in Ajijic, Jalisco on the northern shore of Lake Chapala in Mexico. Ajijic is a lively village that is comprised of colorful neighborhoods, galleries, shops and restaurants. The artistic community here is strong and you will find many art supply shops. The traditions and rich culture of the Mexican people will provide endless inspiration for your creative endeavours. 

Doing an artist residency at 360 XQ was one of the best decisions of my life and art career. I loved that I didn’t have to apply and get accepted because I’m in a transition phase of my work and wanted the opportunity to have space and time to create pieces that weren’t perfect, and to have the freedom to explore. Bethany gave me that freedom and support.

Our artists become family

This is the perfect opportunity to finish a manuscript, prepare for a show, collect your thoughts or plan your next body of work. Read some of the interviews with creatives who have come to Chapala for a 360 XQMX residency

I would encourage all my artist friends to spend some time in this wonderful town, and above all- stay with Bethany. She knows the town like the back of her hand.
