CASA SANTA ANA

We are a non-profit foundation that connects people through contemporary art, seeking to understand current contexts and build a stronger and more inclusive community. Founded in 2015 by Johnny Roux, we hold exhibitions, publications, workshops, residencies, and community programs with the intention of making art accessible and relevant to everyone's lives.

Our casa is made up of an exhibition space and an apartment that houses our international artist residency program. Both components provide spaces for collaboration with artists, galleries and institutions, thus strengthening local and global bridges.

Through exhibitions by renowned international and local artists, we seek to open dialogues that allow us to better understand each other and make art relevant and accessible to all. Our publications seek to collect and share the life and work of local artists both inside and outside our borders.

Voces en acción is an experimental art workshop that has taken place every year since 2018. Led by artists Donna Conlon and Jonathan Harker, the 8-week workshop focuses on the conceptualization and production of artworks that open dialogues about our socio-political contexts and the issues that affect us, helping to build a strong and engaged artistic community.

Our children's library La Leonera will be a place where - through the relationship with reading, writing and contemporary art - the boys and girls of Santa Ana who are in a vulnerable state will be able to develop their full potential.
