Established in 2006, the Lawndale Artist Studio Program offers residencies to Texas-based artists who are developing a practice in the visual arts.
The Artist Studio Program offers its residents access to a welcoming and vibrant community of working artists, curators, critics and patrons of contemporary art. The Artist Studio Program supports three artists annually; the residency term is nine months, from September to May. Residents receive a monthly stipend of $500, a materials allowance of $1,500 and 24-hour access to a private studio (approx. 250 square feet).
Each spring, Lawndale mounts an exhibition of Artist Studio Program residents' work produced during the residency term. In addition, each resident produces a minimum of one public program or artist workshop that engages the public with their respective artistic practices.
