Short Description

Cloud Collective Residency builds meaningful connections between makers, their work, and their communities. Our residents curate an experience that best suits their creative growth. Each of our residents comes away with a renewed sense of creative possibility: in the value of their work and its importance to the world.

Join our family of three and our current residents for a unique and immersive artists’ and writers’ residency. The Cloud Collective Residency offers a supportive, collaborative environment where creativity thrives, connections flourish, and meaningful work is nurtured.

Residencies are for a 3-month minimum and include a furnished private bedroom, private bathroom, access to a stocked kitchen, and creative mentoring.

Eligibility

Cloud Collective is designed to spark inspiration. You’ll find ample space to work and create, a library of books and materials to explore, and the camaraderie of fellow artists and writers who are just as devoted to their craft.

Length of Stay, and Terms of Agreement

Upon acceptance, Residents and Cloud Collective will agree to a 3-month commitment, which will include first and last month’s residency fee, with the option to extend for as long as both the Resident and Cloud Collective are a good fit for each other. Both the resident and Cloud Collective agree to provide a 1-month notice before ending their commitment.
