Fall 2015 Navasota Artist in Residence

The Artists in Residence program offers selected artists the opportunity to live and work in the historic Horlock Home in Navasota, Texas for a six-month term (end of September 2015 to March 2016). The residency includes living space, studio space, and retail gallery space, with utilities provided free of charge by the City of Navasota and The Arts Council of Brazos Valley. Up to three artists will be selected.

Eligible applicants must be artists working in 2-D mixed media, 3-D mixed media, drawing, fiber arts, literature, music, painting, poetry, photography, printmaking, sculpture, ceramics, or digital media. Applicants must be available to live in Navasota for the entire six-month term, be fluent in English, and be eligible to live in the United States. Selected artists are responsible for supplying their own materials, equipment, and food. Artists must live and work solely at the Horlock House, keep the gallery open to the public Wednesday through Sunday 9:00am-6:00pm, maintain the living and working quarters, and may not hold a full-time or part-time job during the residency. All participating artists must pass a background check.

The City of Navasota and The Arts Council will provide PR opportunities including radio interviews, promotion at Arts Council events, inclusion in newsletters, and attendance at Arts Council events. Teaching opportunities may be available. Sales of artwork in gallery shows and at the Horlock House will be split 70/30, with 70% going to the artist and 30% to The Arts Council. The entry fee is $25.00. Final applicants will be selected for phone interviews, with final decisions made in July 2015.
