The Galveston Artist Residency (GAR)supports the development and awareness of art through long-term artist residencies and public programming. Its ten-month residency program is a fully funded and allows artists to dive deeply into their practice, offering opportunities for growth and artistic breakthrough that is nearly impossible to achieve within the normal boundaries of modern life. It is also committed to engaging with its community through an ambitious gallery programming that includes art exhibitions, lectures, music and performance events. GAR argues for beauty and creativity as important and fundamental to our community and society at large.
