About the residency

The Creative Comfort Society is a decentralized, global artist residency program that operates without a fixed physical location, instead partnering with host venues in various international settings. Founded on the principle that creative practice thrives in environments of genuine comfort and mutual support, the Society curates seasonal residencies that prioritize process over product, offering artists time, space, and community away from the pressures of the commercial art world. Its Winter 2027 residency in Valle de Bravo, Mexico, exemplifies this ethos, providing a serene, culturally rich context for reflection and experimentation.

Planning your application

Artists interested in The Creative Comfort Society should approach the application as a proposal for a period of self-directed research and development, rather than a presentation of finished work. The selection committee looks for clarity of intent, openness to communal living, and a genuine need for the specific comforts—time, solitude, and support—that the residency provides. Given the global and itinerant nature of the program, applicants should demonstrate adaptability and a willingness to engage with local contexts. The application is typically a straightforward online form; ensure your project description aligns with the Society's ethos of comfort and process, and be prepared to articulate how the residency would benefit your practice at this moment.
