Residency

Art Life Jamaica:
We are all about the freedom & artist. More than an artist hotel we open space to help you develop, encourage your personal muse. We strive to integrate visiting artists with a place to dive into? …to the planet for the materials we use. We also invite in artists to share their talents with locals. We believe art is a way to raise consciousness and liberate democracy in the world– a tool to create better lives. Artists are the newspapers & ideas of our world. We have a fabulous site designed by an artist, and built by locals who receive profit sharing and paid vacations/leave. We are ready to integrate all the full spectrum artist, film, sculpture (primitive/indigenous style), writing, dance, culinary, garden design, music, painting/murals anything that makes the world more beautiful for all life. We are surrounded by an organic Jamaican food forest and ocean. Artists can feel their work improve the region…and the world.
