Navasota Artist in Residence Program Spring 2015

The Navasota Artist 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 February 2015 to August 2015). The residency includes living space, studio space, and retail gallery space, with utilities provided free of charge. Selected artists are responsible for supplying their own materials, equipment, and food.

Eligible applicants must be artists working in 2-D mixed media, 3-D mixed media, drawing, fiber, literature, music, painting, poetry, photography, printmaking, sculpture, ceramics, digital media, or video. 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. All participants must pass a background check and be the sole occupant of the residency location.

Selected artists are required to keep the Horlock House Art Gallery and Museum open to the public during regular hours determined by the City of Navasota and The Arts Council. Artists will have opportunities to show work at various Gallery at Large locations throughout the Brazos Valley, with a 70/30 sales split (70% to artist, 30% to The Arts Council). Paid teaching opportunities may be available but are not required. Final applicants will be selected for interviews at the Horlock House; those unable to attend in person may participate via phone or video interview. Final decisions will be made by February 2015. Entry fee: $25.00. Submit 4-6 work samples (images, audio, and/or video).
