Studio Luce | 2027 Open Call Dates

Applications are now open for our 2027 residencies, with scholarship places available for Guatemalan artists.

Dear friends,

We’re delighted to share our Open Call dates for 2027.

Based on feedback from previous years and from applicants, we will be hosting four open call residencies next year. Each residency will last 13 nights and is open to artists of all disciplines, including writers, musicians, painters, photographers, and more. This is a change from previous years and is intended to bring different disciplines together to encourage inspiration and connection.

We are also offering two free scholarship places specifically for Guatemalan applicants. As ever, every paid residency spot also helps support the El Paredón library and the salary of the local librarian, Mhajo.

2027 Dates

• APRIL 18 – 30

  • Application Deadline: November 18, 2026

• JUNE 6 – 18

  • Deadline: January 6, 2027

• AUGUST 1 – 13

  • Deadline: March 1, 2027​

• OCTOBER 3 – 15

  • Deadline: May 3, 2027

Additionally, we will be increasing our artist invitations in 2027 to creatives we love and admire, as well as welcoming more private residencies for groups looking to reserve Studio Luce. Please get in touch if you’d like to know more.
