“High-Altitude Art” Residency
Fall edition
Can you imagine creating artwork in a place surrounded by towering mountains, vineyards, and a unique light?
We are pleased to present the Panal Residency “High-Altitude Art” a one-of-a-kind experience that combines the magic of the Andes Mountain Range with the luxury and warmth of an incomparable setting: Château d’Ancón, in Tupungato, Mendoza (Argentina).
From Panal 361, in partnership with Dorcam (Doral Museum Miami), we are proud to announce the return of our Panal Art Residencies (RAP). In this edition, “Residencia de Altura” (“High-Altitude Residency”), we are reviving our Artistic Residency Program—after its beginnings in Buenos Aires (2012–2020) and a hiatus during the pandemic—in a renewed format.
For this edition, we have created a format that combines Dorcam’s experience, Panal 361’s trajectory in managing residencies, and the exclusivity of Château d’Ancón as host and venue for accommodation and creation.
¿Why Mendoza?
Because it offers an impressive natural setting, with the Andes Mountain Range as a backdrop and a rich cultural, wine, and gastronomic tradition.
Château d’Ancón is located in a privileged spot facing the Tupungato Volcano, and offers all the luxurious amenities so that artists can develop their work in the best possible conditions.
