Navasota Artist in Residency Spring 2016

The Artists in Residence program offers an opportunity to live and work in the historic Horlock Home in Navasota, Texas. Three artists will be selected to participate in a five-month residency (March 15 - August 22, 2016) with free living space, studio space, retail gallery space, utilities, internet, and cable provided by the City of Navasota and the Arts Council of Brazos Valley.

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 five-month term, be fluent in English, and be eligible to live in the United States. Artists must pass a background check and cannot hold a full-time or part-time job during the residency.

Selected artists are responsible for their own materials, equipment, food, and transportation. Artists must live and work solely at the Horlock House, maintain the living and working quarters, and keep the Horlock Gallery open to the public Wednesday through Sunday, 9:00am-6:00pm. Sales of artwork in gallery shows and at the Horlock House are split 70/30, with 70% going to the artist and 30% to the Arts Council. The City of Navasota and the Arts Council may offer paid teaching opportunities. Entry fee is $25.00. Final applicants will be selected for phone/Skype interviews, with final decisions made in February 2016.
