In 2001, building on the success of its guest-curated residencies, ArtPace has shifted entirely to this selection process. The curator designates the international and U.S. artists based upon their curatorial knowledge and interests. Texas artists will continue to be nominated by curatorial colleagues throughout the state. We provide resident artists with fully equipped wood, metal, and computer graphic design workshops, as well as technical and administrative support. The goal is to give artists a space in which to imagine new ways to work.
All art made during the residency belongs to the artist.
Resident artists are encouraged to share their ideas and become involved with the San Antonio and Texas art communities through various public programs, including a potluck dinner to welcome the new artists and a dialogue discussion between the artists at the end of the residency discussing their new work.
