The Sovereign Creator Grant

Applications open October 15, 2026



You are not lacking ability. You are lacking sanctuary.


To honor the un compromised pursuit of real authentic creation, we are awarding two Sovereign Grants ($1,000 each)—one for our upcoming mixed session and one for our women's session—allowing two visionary creators to step completely off the grid and into a 10-day private artist residency and digital detox in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico



The 3-Step Sovereign Creator Grant Process (And Why We Do It)

We kept this entirely human, fluid, and focused on your actual genius …..no endless paperwork here.


Step 1: The 60-Second Raw Capture (Self or Peer Nomination)


  • What you do: Grab your phone and record a raw, unedited 60-second audio or video clip. Speak straight from the soul to this question:


"What is the true, uncompromising vision you’ve been forced to put on the back burner just to keep up with the noise, and what would it mean to finally bring it to life with ten days of absolute space?"



  • Why we do it: Because real creation doesn't live in a polished resume or a formal cover letter. We want to hear your actual voice, your hunger, and your truth. Plus, letting you nominate a brilliant peer means we lift each other up into the room.


Step 2: The Curatorial Artist Residency Review ($35 Exchange)

  • What you do: Drop your clip and portfolio link, select whether you're entering for yourself or a peer, and complete the $35 exchange.
  • Why we do it: Energy goes where intention is. This small, intentional filter ensures that every person stepping into our space is truly invested, keeping the container sacred, focused, and free of casual creators.


Step 3: The Community Spotlight & Final Selection

  • What we do: Our team curates the Top 5 most fearless submissions, and  community votes to award our two grant recipients securing one $1,000 grant for the mixed session and one for the women's session..
