About the Residency
Welcome to Womb: an oasis nestled in the heart of a vibrant Mexican neighborhood — a sanctuary where artists can dream, create, and simply be. Our residency program is rooted in a deep commitment to the well-being of the artist, offering a space where inspiration flows freely and rest is a vital part of the journey.
Artists arrive at Womb to find a nurturing environment that supports both the active and contemplative aspects of creative life. Whether you seek to pursue new projects, reflect on your process, build community or simply immerse yourself in an artistic sanctuary, this is your home. The residency experience at Womb encompasses two phases: the productive, where ideas are brought to life and creative projects are actively developed, and the restorative, where artists are nourished by the environment, taking time to reflect, meditate, and rejuvenate — allowing inspiration to deepen and future creations to germinate.
Here, the space itself becomes the muse: a beautiful environment designed to ignite your creativity and nourish your spirit. With curated dinners connecting you to other artists and members of our thriving local community and access to our rotating menu of workshops and immersive neighborhood tours, every aspect of Womb is dedicated to fostering connection and creative exploration.
While Womb hosts artists from diverse backgrounds and disciplines, we especially seek artists who feel a call to activism, who understand that art plays a crucial role in social change. Our program offers the opportunity to be a part of creating a positive impact in the lives of people who do not normally have access to art. We encourage all residents of Womb to imagine ways of contributing to the local community, fostering connections that extend beyond the walls of our oasis.
Womb is more than a space — it is a heartfelt invitation to connect, rejuvenate, and be inspired by the magic that unfolds when art, environment, and community intertwine.

At Womb, we emphasize the power of artists to support one another financially. By participating in the Womb residency, international artists actively contribute to helping local artists pursue their creative endeavors. This creates a beautiful cycle of interdependence within our community. As an independently funded artist space created by creatives for creatives, our mission is to offer this residency to as many artists as possible.
