The Julia and David White Artists' Colony is an artists' colony in Ciudad Colon, Costa Rica. It was established in 1998 by Dr. William L. White as a memorial to his two children: Julia Lynne and David Ellis. Both died at young ages: Julia committed suicide at 29, and David succumbed to a drug overdose at 31.

The Colony offers residencies, often a month or longer, to a variety of artists including writers, visual artists, and composers. There is also a communal building, Las Nueve Muses (The Nine Muses) on-site, as well as a tennis court, swimming pool, and hiking paths. It is walking distance from the center of Ciudad Colon, home to 10,000 people, and a short bus ride from San José.
