This year, the Museo Taller José Clemente Orozco will become the home of four emerging artists invited to complete a residency and develop their abilities. Promoted by the Ministry of Culture in Jalisco (SC), in collaboration with the Open Studies Annual Program (PAOS) in Guadalajara, the initiative aims to provide a creative space for emerging artists as well as other artists with already established local, national and international trajectories. The call by PAOS will conclude its first phase on March 6. It is open to any artist between the ages of 22 and 40 who reside in Jalisco and who preferably work in the visual arts, sound art or alternative art. The project consists of providing the winning candidates with studio space at the Museo Taller José Clemente Orozco. Participants may use the facilities to develop and execute their ideas with the support provided by PAOS and SC. In turn, artists will be required to submit advances of their projects through an exhibition. This type of program also aims at bringing artists and audiences closer. This is the reason that the facilities at Taller Museo José Clemente Orozco will be open to the public throughout the duration of the residencies and, as result, said Lorena Peña, restore its nature of a creative space, just as the painter from Jalisco conceived it. The Museo Taller José Clemente Orozco was for a short period of time the home and studio of Orozco. It was built by engineer Edmundo Ponce-Adame and architect Fernando González-Gortázar in 1948 closely following Orozco's wishes, such as taking advantage of the differential light coming from the west and the east.
