PROGRAMS
Kaaysá offers different programs
1. KAAYSÁ residency
Programming and mediation coordinated by the Residency.
Kaaysá Residency is an immersive 3 to 4-week program designed for up to 12 residents, including artists and other creatives, selected by a dedicated committee. Participants form a multidisciplinary team, engaging in activities specifically tailored to their specialties and aligned with the group's overall theme or needs.
Evenings at Kaaysá are marked by collaborative dinners, offering a rich opportunity for residents to exchange ideas, share experiences, and draw inspiration from one another. The residency provides ample workspace and state-of-the-art facilities, ensuring residents have the room and resources needed for focused, on-site creative production.
* Kaaysá Residency can also be offered in a shorter and more intensive immersion of 10 to 15 days or, on the other hand, for longer projects, up to 6 months.
