Artists and writers of international, national and Texas origin are invited to apply for 2-month, fully-funded studio residencies to produce work in rare scale and focus with generous support and vast, immersive space, in an historic setting fifty miles south of Dallas, Texas. Residents are hosted at 100 West, an 11,000 square-foot, former Odd Fellows lodge virtually unaltered since its 1890s construction, preserved and minimally furnished with pieces designed and built from the first-floor woodshop. Private artist studios are 2,400 square-feet; writing studio is 600 square-feet; kitchen and dining room are shared. Quiet studio focus is prioritized, and balanced with introductions to professional networks in the Dallas-Fort Worth region, culminating with Open Studios at the close of term. Review details below before submitting application. This Residency takes place in downtown Corsicana - the birthplace of the Texas oil industry, where two booms 1890s - 1920s produced an exuberant setting, declining in care and use by the late-20th century, and gradually rejuvenating across the last decade. 170 artists and writers from across the United States and 17 countries have been granted residencies since 2012. Our programs for residency and education take place within a collection of sites: 100 West (studio and living space), Bookstore (published work and recommendations by residents), Anteroom (exhibitions of alumni work), and Writers House (alumni retreats).
