Galveston Artist Residency exists to promote and encourage the knowledge and appreciation of art by giving artists a gift of time and space for the development of their work. We provide studio space, accommodation and a stipend to three artists annually.
In the past, potential recipients of GAR residency grants have come from a pool of artists nominated by a jury of independent art professionals. Residency applications have been sent to this pool of nominated artists, and Residency grant offers then sent to the artists selected.
The GAR program is open to visual artists working in any medium. Recipients will be at a point in their career where they will benefit from a period of intense, focused studio time. Consideration will also be given to artists who are involved in non-commercial endeavors, environmental or sustainable living projects or projects that can increase community involvement or social awareness. Emerging artists as well as mature established artists are eligible.
GAR is located in a pair of radically reimagined and rebuilt industrial structures on the edge of downtown Galveston. In addition to our residency program, the GAR Gallery and Courtyards will host various public programs such as art exhibitions, film series, performances, open studios, lectures, etc.
