The Creative Comfort Society

We believe great art can change the world - We've seen the harm the myth of the starving artist has caused - We know the more cared for a creative person becomes the easier it is for them to make great art.

We are a Collective of Artists & Chefs committed to...

Residencies

In the winter of 2026 we hosted 4 artists for our pilot art residency in Valle de Bravo, Mexico.
Now we're fundraising to cover as much of the costs as possible for 12 artists at a time to join us for one of our three 2 week sessions. Our dates will be announced once we have reached at least 1/4 of our funding goal.

Enjoy two weeks of gourmet food creative comradery and cultural exchange in one of the most sceanic parts of north america.
