This is not an open-call residency.
It is TAC's artist intake for selected collaborations in Tulum.
We review artists according to current opportunities, active projects, commercial fit and curatorial alignment. We do not guarantee sales, residencies or representation.
Who we're looking for
Artists who move between wall, object and collector.
Artists with a strong visual identity, professional communication, realistic pricing and the ability to work across murals, commissions, editions or collectible works.
If there is a fit
