You don’t need formal experience, just passion, a voice, and work that aligns with our three pillars:
Skill Sharing
Invest in your community by learning from each other, even as peers. Mentorship is not the only way to grow. Being able to relate to one another allows us to build solidarity and trust, which we encourage through the friendly exchange of techniques, ideas, and observations.
It Takes a Village
We are all at different stages in our artistry. Comparison is the thief of joy. Recognize each other’s efforts and uplift each other in good faith. A solid support system can fuel the inspiration and courage to keep improving.
Creating for a Higher Purpose
We look for art that exposes new perspectives. It’s not just about pretty pictures. Create pieces that challenge, educate, and celebrate something that is valuable to you. Make things that make people feel.

Club Rambutan is a creative collective, a digital residency, and a magazine - here's how it works.
digital residency structure
Updated March 2025
Club Rambutan’s Digital Residency is a 6-month virtual artist residency. Each cohort of artists works with the support of our creative team to make something for the mag - all around a shared theme.
Each “cohort” is a group of selected artists who work alongside our team to develop a piece around a shared theme. This final work is featured in our print and digital magazine — published free for the artists, and accessible to everyone.
What Cohort Artists Get:
-
Creative support from our Artist Resource Group (ARG)
-
Biweekly Zoom meetings with our Creative Director
-
Featured in the magazine (for free!)
-
Free welcome package + printed mag

Access to our alumni job board

And more!
