Biography
ONDARTE was born from the desire to support international artists and promote cultural exchange between creators from all walks of life. At ONDARTE we offer a pristine environment in the Mayan Riviera, perfect for the interaction of our artists and their work needs. Our institution offers 8 large furnished suites all with private bathrooms, and 2 huge living/studio suites also with en suite bathrooms and more than enough space for private studios. All rooms have work desks for our artists to create in the comfort of their room if they feel necessary. ONDARTE'S grounds of over 2,000 square metres (22,000 square feet) are divided between the living quarters, the exterior working areas, the temperature controlled storage rooms, the comunal kitchen/dining area and the common/relax zones (swimming pool and gardens). Artists are welcome to work freely throughout the grounds in order to create wherever they feel more at ease. We are perfectly positioned in the small town of Akumal between the Caribbean Sea and Yal Ku lagoon. At ONDARTE we assist our artists as much as possible in order for them to concentrate solely on their creating. Once a month we organize an open house in which we invite local artists and the surrounding community in order to further promote the cultural exchange between the artists and their adopted home.
