TROPICAL ART RETREAT
Cultivarte is an ecological artist residency located in the warm and peaceful mountains of Anapoima, Colombia. Our program offers artists, writers, and creatives a quiet and inspiring environment to deepen their practice, rest, reconnect, and develop new ideas. Surrounded by nature, residents have access to open studio space, simple and comfortable accommodations, gardens, walking trails, and areas for reflection, movement, and creative experimentation.
We welcome artists from any discipline and from anywhere in the world. Cultivarte operates as a self-sustained, fee-based residency, with stays designed to support both creative focus and personal well-being. Residents are free to work independently at their own pace while also having the option to participate in community-building activities and gentle wellness practices.
Our aim is to offer a nurturing place where creativity, nature, and inner balance meet, allowing artists to unwind, explore, and create in a supportive and tranquil setting.
