Fundación Casa Wabi is a non-profit civil association that fosters exchange between contemporary art and 14 local communities along the Oaxacan coast through its community programs in Puerto Escondido. Through its spaces in Mexico City and Tokyo, the foundation also supports emerging and established artists through exhibitions and residencies.

Our name originates from the Japanese philosophy of Wabi-Sabi, which seeks beauty and harmony in the simple, the imperfect and the unconventional. Our mission is focused on forging social development through the arts, which we carry out through five key programs: residencies, exhibitions, clay, cinema, and mobile library.

Casa Wabi is located on the Pacific coast, 30 minutes from the Puerto Escondido´s airport. Set between the mountains and the sea, our headquarters have been designed by japanese architect Tadao Ando and under the initiative of Mexican artist Bosco Sodi. Our facilities include a multipurpose palapa, six separate bedrooms, two closed studios and six open studios, a screening room/ auditorium, a 450 m² exhibition gallery and various workspaces that make it an ideal place to recharge and interact with other artists.
