An artist residency
Retrun Form
Is:
Part residency, part workshop. Return Form is built for artists who need structure to start, time to ideate, and a deadline to push their art forward, culminating in a final studio show where each artist presents a completed piece.
This project grew out of real conversations with friends, collaborators, and peers across artistic fields. As working creative directors, we felt a familiar tension: we make things every day for clients and deadlines, but rarely for ourselves.
It wasn’t just about time, it was about permission.
Right now, the value of creative labor feels more unstable than ever. Automation, algorithms, and endless hustle culture have flattened what art is allowed to be.
We built this framework to return to an original instinct: the curiosity to build, to follow an impulse, and see where it goes. Return Form is a chance to reconnect with that feeling. A way to re-engage your practice, with support you didn’t know you needed, and the structure that makes it possible.
EXPERIMENTATION
COMMUNITY
We know creativity needs company. Momentum builds when you’re not making alone! This program brings artists together to share ideas, stay accountable, and build momentum through every stage of making.
PRACTICE
We trust that practice should feel possible! Art thrives on consistency, not perfection. Return Form offers steady support to help you keep creating within your real, everyday life.
