Artists · Tulum
Bring your practice here.
Tulum Art Club works with a small number of artists each season — murals, commissions, editions and collectible work placed in real spaces across Tulum.
Every introduction is read by a person, and reviewed against the projects that are actually in motion.
Brothers of Light · Holistika, Tulum
Artists + place
The work changes when the place becomes part of it.
Jungle light, salt air, concrete and wood. Artists who come here rarely make the same work they made at home — the material, the scale and the audience all shift.
Our role is to hold the context: walls, clients, production, collectors and the people who keep this place interesting.
What we look for
A clear voice, and a way of working.
We are not looking for a résumé. We are looking for a practice that reads clearly and travels well between a wall, a room and a collector.
- A recognisable visual language
- Comfort working at architectural scale
- Clear, human communication
- Pricing you can explain
- Interest in a real relationship, not one post
- Respect for the place and the people in it
Possibilities
One relationship can take different forms.
Nothing here is a package. What happens depends on your work, the season and the projects open at that moment.

- 02Commissions for hotels, homes and developments

If it fits, we write to you
A real conversation, not an automated reply.
Honestly
We work with few artists at a time, and we say so early.
Selection depends on current opportunities, curatorial alignment and commercial fit. A no today is often a timing question — many of the artists we work with wrote to us long before anything happened.
Recent projects
Recent projects live on Instagram.
The clearest picture of how we work — murals, openings, editions and collaborations as they happen.
Artist intake
Introduce your practice.
Tell us who you are, what you make and how you like to work. Around three minutes.
Questions
Before you write to us.
Is this a residency?
Not in the traditional sense. Stays happen by invitation, connected to a project, a wall or an exhibition — not as a standing program.
Is there a fee to introduce my work?
No. Introducing your practice is free.
Do I need to be in Mexico?
No, but travel availability matters for murals and site-specific projects. Editions and collectible work can travel instead of you.
How long does a reply take?
We read everything. We reply when there is something concrete to say — sometimes in days, sometimes when the right project appears.
Do you guarantee sales or representation?
No. We open doors we already have, and we are clear about pricing, timing and terms before anything starts.
