The Wynwood artist residency program at Viophilia was designed by artists for artists to provide an open and supportive environment rich in local cultural resources.  Offering a collective space where creatives can co-exist and collaborate in the communal areas and also retreat into privacy of their studio units all within the the lively Wynwood Arts District. This variety in environments offers participants a range of experiences to find inspiration whether seeking to connect with others or work without distraction. Participants are encouraged to explore new processes and experiment without inhibitions as the artistic dialogue continues around the clock.

We seek to create a more community based art network through exhibitions, interactive art events, performances, workshops and community outreach. As a fundamental principle of Viophilia’s philosophy we believe that creating bonds through collaborative expressions is a bridge for discovery and learning. Participants are encouraged to pursue creative risk-taking and experimental processes along with leading group workshops and/or events. The emphasis being on a meaningful and multi-layered cultural exchange.
