La Célula – Residencia de Arte Útil – Urban

La Célula is a project to activate the house as a sustainable residence for artists and social entrepreneurs (www.facebook.com/ResidenciaLaCelula/). It is based on the concept “Useful Art” (www.arte-util.org), basically social art or art with a cause. All forms of artistic expression are welcome.

We are an ongoing project aimed at creating a positive impact in our world, living more sustainably, generating a feeling of community and belonging and integrating art into everyday life. Our values are sharing, co-creating, inclusion, adaptability, frugality and of course having fun!

Feel free to ask questions regarding the space or the residency.

Description of the area and neighborhood : La Célula is located in Roma Sur district in Mexico City, walking distance to many restaurants, bars, etc. and is minutes away from a the metrobus station, public bikes and metro station.

Wish in exchange for the hosting (ie:a work of art, an original work, singing or painting lessons, a private concert or any other art form) : I'd love the artist to execute one or more Useful Art projects.
