> "Making space for joy, rest and creative practice — fighting the myth of the starving artist"

It is incredibly hard to find room to pursue joy in this harsh capitalist hell scape of the modern world. So let us take the time to make that space for you and your creative practice to be comforted a while.

Applications are now open for three 2 week sessions from January to March 2027. We have space 12 artists to join us in the state of Mexico for each session and while we are fundraising in an effort to wave all costs (excluding travel) there is sliding scale pricing available for those who may not usually be able to access this kind of program. Two meals a day, a beautiful place to stay, excursions and transport from and to CDMX, and shared studios. The myth of the starving artist is something we will never stop fighting against - one comforting meal at a time.
