We carefully go through and seriously take into consideration each application one-by-one.

We focus on where an artist is at in their journey personally, diversity and drive.

To avoid receiving thousands of submissions - essentially creating less competition for you AND weeds out low effort applications - a one time non-refundable application fee of just $22 is the cost to submit an application. This fee will be deducted for selected artists who participate in The Residency. The fee also allows us to cover future project initiatives like this and support emerging artists.

Once an artist is selected, they will have 3 days to confirm their spot.

You can expect to hear back from us on the status of your application by end of April.

We are offering ONE person to join this Residency completely FREE of cost.

The small fee to apply for this Residency is being used to help an artist with this opportunity of a lifetime.

There is no special reason or selection process for who will receive the complimentary spot. All we ask is for a great application and your WHY.

The winner will be announced on our platform.

You will be living for one week amongst 10 others in a classic 8-bedroom villa in the heart of Mexico City’s Roma Norte neighborhood.
