international artist-in-residence

Three times a year, Artpace invites a guest curator to choose three artists to live and create art in San Antonio for two months. Each residency cycle includes one international, one national, and one Texas-based artist. Each resident receives a studio/exhibition space, an on-site furnished apartment, access to a van, a $6,000 stipend, up to a $10,000 production budget, and the support of a full-time staff.

Resident artists are encouraged to push their creative practice that must result in a new exhibition. The work created is exhibited for two months at Artpace and goes on to appear in private and public collections worldwide. All art made during the residency belongs to the artist. The mission of the program is to provide artists with unparalleled resources that enable them to experiment with new ideas, take provocative risks, and realize innovative and ambitious new work.

While in residence, the artists are encouraged to share their ideas and become involved with the San Antonio and Texas art communities. Public programs such as the Open Studios and Artists’ Dialogues serve to connect audiences with Artpace resident artists.
