Our Artist in Residency (AIR) Program provides international and local artists with time, space, and resources to create new work, engage with our community, and contribute to Ecuador's contemporary art dialogue. Since 2010, we've hosted over 50 artists from 25 countries.
About the Program
No Lugar's AIR Program offers artists a unique opportunity to develop their practice in the rich cultural context of Ecuador. Residents receive studio space, accommodation, curatorial support, and connections to the local art community.
Our program emphasizes research, experimentation, and cultural exchange. We encourage projects that engage with local contexts, communities, and contemporary issues. The residency culminates in an open studio, exhibition, or public presentation, depending on the nature of the artist's work.
Founded on principles of artistic freedom and critical dialogue, our residency has become a vital platform for contemporary art practice in Latin America.
