Colony Facilities

Up to eight artists at a time reside at The Julia and David White Artists' Colony year-round.  The Colony provides each artist with a private studio on a beautiful 17-acre hillside setting.

Las Nueve Musas has been converted into a studio.


A tennis court, swimming pool, and hiking paths are provided for recreation. The tennis court will soon be replaced by a new community area.


Basic necessities and a Saturday Farmer's Market are available within walking distance in the local village, Ciudad Colón, population 10,000, elevation 3,000 ft. (900mts). A shopping mall and cinema complex are a 20-minute drive from The Colony. Bus and taxi service to all of Costa Rica is available from Ciudad Colón.

An outdoor gazebo for reading and relaxation is equipped with an electrical outlet for laptops.

In the background, the Biblioteca houses the works of Julia and David White.

 

From scenic walking paths one can see the Pacific Ocean as well as volcanoes across the Central Valley.
