Artpace has been an important center for the production and exhibition of contemporary art projects in San Antonio, Texas for the past 23 years. Its residency program is respected around the world for the support it offers to artists, the caliber of work it helps them to produce, and the career opportunities it facilitates during the residency and long after. Artpace has recently expanded its program to include a residency for international curators as well as one for local performing artists. These initiatives not only serve new populations of artists and curators, they also enhance the experience of artists in the existing residency by increasing their contact with critical voices and creative collaborators.

“The Foundation’s commitment to supporting artists by funding the institutions that incubate, encourage, exhibit and critically engage their work is unwavering. Non-profit arts organizations face profound challenges due to the political, economic, social and cultural upheavals of our current moment. At the same time, and more than ever, artists need the supportive community and creative encouragement that these organizations provide.”
Joel Wachs, President
