About the residency

Cloud Collective Residency is a global, decentralized artist residency program that operates without a fixed physical location. Founded in 2018 by a group of artists and curators seeking to bypass the geographic and financial barriers of traditional residencies, it offers remote studio programs, online critiques, and digital exhibitions. The residency emphasizes process over product, encouraging artists to engage in sustained dialogue and experimentation across distances. Its core mission is to foster a supportive, non-hierarchical community where artists can develop work on their own terms, free from the pressures of a physical studio or exhibition schedule.

Planning your application

Artists should approach Cloud Collective Residency with a clear sense of how a remote, process-driven environment will benefit their practice. The selection committee values thoughtful, experimental proposals that demonstrate a willingness to engage in sustained dialogue and peer critique. Applications are typically open twice a year, with a modest fee. It is advisable to review past residents' work and the program's online archive to understand its ethos. A concise artist statement and a focused project proposal—rather than a broad portfolio—are most effective. The residency does not provide housing or travel funds, so applicants should plan accordingly.
