In the organiser's words

What the official page says.

Quoted from instagram.com and checked on 1 September 2026. This is the organiser's description, reproduced as captured. It has not been through the evidence checks that produced the figures above.

Escape to Cultivarte, our mango farm and retreat center nestled in Colombia’s countryside, and join our art residency program. Embrace the tranquility of nature as you work on your art. You can also immerse yourself in Colombia’s rural culture by hiking, taking river walks, and exploring the surrounding area. Don’t forget to cool off in our natural swimming pool. Join local community projects, participate in farm activities like yoga classes, and let your creativity flow in this inspiring environment.

We provide space for artists to work independently, managing their own time and creative work, while also offering them the general services, activities, and spaces of Cultivarte. These include yoga classes, the use of the swimming pool and the sunset pool, and three vegetarian daily meals from Monday to Friday. On the weekends, artists can either eat in the restaurants in the nearby town (20 minutes by public transportation), or we can connect them with local cooks who can prepare and deliver meals to the farm.

In case we are hosting a retreat, some of the facilities could be used in coordination with the retreat facilitators (through the host). The retreats take place on the weekends. Artists can choose between private and shared accommodation.

Duration: 2 weeks to 3 months (with the option to extend up to 3 months).
Accommodation: We offer private and shared accommodations, including options with double beds and private bathrooms.
Disciplines & equipment: Cultivarte welcomes artists from a wide range of disciplines, including sculpture, painting, drawing, dance, theater, performance art, music, literature, film, architecture, educational projects, photography, installation art, ceramics, crafts, and interdisciplinary practices.
Studio: Maloka Studio: A 90 m² circular studio with a high palm-thatched roof, surrounded by lush nature and accompanied by the soothing sound of a nearby stream. Equipped with a sound system, lighting, electrical outlets, and convenient access to bathrooms and showers. Forest Capsule: An open-air circular platform immersed in the mango forest, offering a unique setting for creative work and connection with nature. Stingray Poolside Studio: An open-air studio with natural stone flooring, overlooking our beautiful natural swimming pool and surrounded by tropical scenery.
Fees & support: 800 USD per month. Shorter periods are available—contact us directly for more info.
Expectations: Each artist is free to decide how they use their time. We provide three vegetarian meals per day, Monday through Friday, and ask that residents clean up after themselves following each meal. Artists are welcome to participate in community projects, workshops, or exhibitions, although participation is entirely optional. Residents are expected to maintain their workspace in reasonable condition, keeping it organized at the end of each workday, and to ensure that no damage is caused to the facilities. Respect for the center, its spaces, belongings, staff, and fellow visitors is essential.
How to apply: If you are interested in applying, please email us at cultivarteanapo@gmail.com, and we will send you the application form.
