What is a CDB Creative Neighbor?

Creative Neighbors is a monthly workspace membership for Southern Arizona artists. For $60/month, accepted artists receive access to the CDB Community Art Space and equipment seven days a week from 7:00 AM–11:00 PM. Membership is awarded based on space availability, community fit, and artistic practice.

Members join a supportive, hands-on arts community of up to 20 artists, can participate in multiple open studios and pop-up vendor opportunities each year, and commit to a minimum of two community service hours per month to support the space.

Creative Resident

Corazon del Barrio’s Creative Resident Studio Program offers two Southern Arizona artists discounted 24-hour studio and workspace along with professional and creative development opportunities. Residents working in any medium receive 24-hour access to a private 196 sq. ft. studio (studio-only; not live/work) and use of CDB equipment and communal workspace. 

Professional and emerging artists are encouraged to apply. Applicants are required to tour the space before they may enter into resident contracts of 3, 6, or 10 months. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis; selected artists will be placed on a waitlist and contacted when a residency opens.
