We-Che International Art Residency

We-Che Art Residency is an independent artist run project. Made and designed by artists for artists. A quiet workspace in an inspiring surrounding, conducive to constructive exchanges on professional and emotive approaches towards new experiences and aesthetic realities and help to focus on the importance of meaningful and multi-layered cultural exchanges through meditative nature observation and conscient artistic practices. Letting place for a small, human-scale adventure.
Patagonia is the best place ever to disconnect and We-Che is the most austral Art Residency : invest in your creative practice and treat yourself to an enchanting break. While a month is the ideal duration, giving yourself time and space to focus on your project, even just a week, can push you out of your comfort zone and spark new ideas.

The We-Che artist residency welcomes emerging and established artists, writers, creators from all countries to spend time and space away from their usual environment to retreat and reflect, to create, and rest in an imposing landscape in a peaceful rural environment. In We-Che you wont feel any kind of pressure for you to achieve something, to produce, to concrete, unless you want it… to fully immerse yourself in an exquisite retreat environment conducive to working with no distraction. Come here to escape the frenzy and decompress, rejuvenate gathering new inspiration alongside like-minded artists and writers and devote space and time to your creativity. Enjoy art life in the middle of mythic Patagonia a stunning, nature-filled place…

We prioritize practices that respect nature and the people who inhabit it. We encourage projects that explore Patagonia as a natural, historical, and cultural environment (flora and fauna, landscapes and history) and that promote interaction and respectful relationships between art and nature.
We welcome creators from all discipline if their project fits to We-Che, thats to say we also evaluate if our structure is able or not to give all necessary space to what they want to achieve. Thats why we will also pay attention during selection process, to mix artists in order they form a good « team » and manage to make an harmonious balanced blend that promote the better experience to each one.
