Casa Wabi is a non-profit civil association that fosters an exchange between contemporary art and local communities in three locations: Puerto Escondido, Mexico City, and Tokyo. Our name, Casa Wabi, is inspired by the Japanese philosophy of Wabi-Sabi, which seeks beauty and harmony in simplicity, imperfection, and unconventionality. Our mission at Casa Wabi is to promote social development through the arts.

We achieve this through five key programs: residencies, exhibitions, clay, films, and a mobile library. Located on the Pacific coast, just a 30-minute drive from the Puerto Escondido airport in Oaxaca, our headquarters have been designed by renowned Japanese architect Tadao Ando, in collaboration with Mexican artist Bosco Sodi. Our facilities include a multipurpose palapa, six separate bedrooms, two closed studios, six open studios, a screening room/auditorium, and a 450 m² exhibition gallery.

These spaces create an ideal environment where artists can recharge, collaborate, and interact with one another. Join us at Casa Wabi and experience the beauty and power of art in fostering social change
