MAISON PAN
WHO WE ARE

Our story is one of passion, friendship, and the
pursuit of artistic exploration.

We began as a humble idea born from the desire
to create a welcoming space where artists could
share their talents and inspire one another.

JUST LIKE A WARM
LOAF OF BREAD

Maison Pan offers a haven for artists to gather, collaborate,
and create in a friendly and nurturing environment.

Our name, derived from the French and Spanish words
for"home" and "bread," reflects our mission to provide a place
where artists can find not only a physical space but also a sense
of belonging and camaraderie.

LOCATED IN TWO
VIBRANT CITIES

We offer a unique blend of cultural contexts, providing artists with studios,
project spaces, and residencies that cater to a wide range
of artistic pursuits.

Each space is designed to encourage exploration and experimentation,
reflecting our commitment to being at the forefront of the global
contemporary art scene.

THE MISSION

Cultivating
Community

At its core, Maison Pan is dedicated
to building a strong, inclusive
community of artists.
The aim is to create a space where
individuals from diverse
backgrounds and disciplines can
come together, share experiences,
and support one another in their
artistic journeys.

Encouraging
Collaboration

Maison Pan places a strong
emphasis on collaboration
believing that creativity thrives when
artists work together.
By providing project spaces and
organizing collaborative events,
Maison Pan seeks to inspire cross-
disciplinary projects that push the boundaries of individual creativity.

Nurturing
Creativity

Providing a conducive environment
for artistic exploration is
fundamental to Maison Pan.
This involves offering artist studios,
residencies, and resources that
enable artists to experiment, take
risks, and develop their work without
the constraints of commercial
pressures.
