UTOPIA, Antigua Guatemala, for the love of art!
After many years in advertising Jacobo and Andrea felt exhausted and purposeless. Too old to be believed as “cool Ad people”, too young to retire. So we decided to move to Antigua and make a living as artists. Starving artists? Not at all, we are living a dream life.
Utopia results from a deep search inside of us for the ideal place we’d love to go every morning: an art studio to just create!
Finally, in April this year, we opened in a beautiful street in 5 av Sur #26 Antigua Guatemala right across from Mesón Panza Verde Hotel. Utopia opens from 10 am to 6 pm and closes on Mondays (because we hate Mondays).
What can you Find in UTOPIA:
UTOPIA Art supplies:
From oil colors, brushes, acrylic paints and watercolors, crayons, fine paper, books on art and illustration, drawing pencils, sketchbooks and lots of markers. We also have a variety of children’s art supplies.
UTOPIA Art exhibit and sale:
- Enjoy our own Etching collection from local artists on the wall
- Buy original etching prints (small formats too!)
UTOPIA creative workshops:
- Take a creative short workshop with us. Weave a dreamcatcher, learn the watercolor technique from a renowned artist, explore art making while putting your 5 senses to work, embryoid in color strings a photograph you love, learn to draw from scratch, enroll in a creative writing workshop or challenge yourself into learning the many forms of etching technique. Now we also have a children’s artists club, called Painted Little Hands Club, with art classes, both in English and Spanish every Thursday afternoon.

Our teachers are artists. We select very carefully each of them to ensure the quality of the workshops.
UTOPIA Etching live workshop:
- Stop by every morning to do a long-term project in etching. Carve wood and tint in color before you print some copies in fine paper. We have weekly and monthly plans depending on how long you stay in Antigua.
