The Nômade Tulum Content Creator Residency Program at Nômade Tulum offers content creators an opportunity to create artwork in Tulum.
Located at the southern tip of Mexico’s Riviera Maya, Nômade Tulum will host the inaugural residency throughout October with additional creator residencies happening in 2025.
The content creator selected for the residency will be offered roundtrip flights from the US or Mexico, accommodation in one of the property’s suites, access to wellness programs and meals prepared with fresh local ingredients. 
Building on Nômade Tulum’s philosophy of connection with oneself as well as others, the residency encourages self-led projects and provides a supportive environment for creative growth.
The selected resident will have the chance to engage in talks, workshops, and events designed to foster interaction and exchange of ideas among artists and the local community.
During each residency the chosen artist will be invited to leave a piece of their work created at Nômade Tulum to be displayed throughout the property, creating a living gallery that reflects the diverse talents and experiences of Nômade Tulum’s residents.
“At Nômade, we invite our guests to be inspired by nature, connecting with themselves, with each other, and enjoy the beauty of the natural world,” says Diego Ortiz, digital marketing manager at Nômade Tulum. “We look forward to welcoming creatives and photographers to experience Nômade Tulum and share their experience of the property through an artistic lens.”
During the inaugural October residency, the chosen content creator will specialise in portrait photography showcasing their work during Portraits: Mirroring the Past, a themed month dedicated to exploring connections to ancestry and lineage through the art of photography.
This experience is inspired by Día de los Muertos, a revered Mexican tradition that honours and remembers departed loved ones, guiding the Nômade community in exploring how lineage influences identity. 
Aspiring creatives from all creative disciplines (visual artists, photographers, illustrators, ceramicists, designers, filmmakers, writers, musicians, dancers, and performance artists) are encouraged to apply to the Nômade Tulum Content Creator Residency program via the online application form, which requests examples of work, a CV and details on what the applicant hopes to achieve during the residency.
The deadline to submit all documents is September 30, 2024. The Creative Residency Program winner will be selected and contacted by October 14, 2024.
