Gallery of Dreams Artist in Residence Program 2024

Gallery of Dreams Artist in Residence Program 2024 is open to all artists living and working in Fort Worth, TX. The selected artist will receive studio space at Fort Works Art Gallery from July 1 to September 30, 2024, a $7,500 cash award, and a monthly stipend for supplies.

Resident artists must keep their studios accessible to public interaction on Saturdays and one additional day of the week (TBD), as well as during exhibition openings and educational programs. Residents are responsible for studio upkeep and general housekeeping. Additional opportunities include discussions with curators and gallery owners, exposure at Fort Works Art events, and interactions with visiting art professionals.
