satis.FACTORY Casa, in alliance with Hannah Curatorial & Advisory, is pleased to announce a one-month residency program in San José, Costa Rica, for Latinx visual artists from L.A., above the age of twenty-five.
This program is open to artists interested in creating, researching, and co-living in an independent, multidisciplinary, and experimental art house. We welcome people whose practices and interests are linked to contemporary Central American art and sustain interdisciplinary and community-based practices. The residency is an opportunity for artists who favor work-in-progress methods and are interested in collective learning processes.
At the same time, it opens a space for feedback and constructive criticism, and establishes networks between the residents and the local ecology. Depending on the resident’s interests, we facilitate a direct exchange with local artists, cultural makers, educators, independent spaces, or local institutions that will enhance their overall experience.
OPEN CALL / March 3 – April 7, 2025
/ Eligibility: Latinx visual artists from Los Angeles, age 25+

Hannah Sloan Curatorial & Advisory (HSC&A) en colaboración con satis.FACTORY Casa anuncian su primer programa de residencia internacional, tejiendo un puente de intercambio cultural entre Los Ángeles y Costa Rica.
Este programa está abierto a artistas interesadxs en crear, investigar y convivir en una casa de arte independiente, multidisciplinaria y experimental.

Al mismo tiempo, abre un espacio para la retroalimentación y la crítica constructiva, y establece redes entre los residentes y la ecología local. En función de los intereses del residente, facilitamos un intercambio directo con artistas locales, gestores culturales, arte-educadores, espacios independientes o instituciones locales que mejorarán su experiencia en residencia.
