Artpace Inc

Exhibitions: in addition to our residency galleries, artpace has two rotating exhibition spaces, main space and the hudson showroom, which feature exhibitions showcasing the work of regional, national, and international artists through group shows, solo exhibitions, and community partnerships. Each year, the hudson showroom and the main space feature new innovative exhibitions in the spring and fall. The exhibitions are free and open to the public seven days of the week and are bolstered through free public programming.

Public programs: artpace is the only major arts institution in san antonio that is admission-free and open to the public seven days a week. Each year, over 10,000 people visit artpace to see our admission-free exhibitions and public programs, including artist talks, curator talks, and performances. Thousands more are able to engage through the livestreaming of these events. Artpace's dreamlab family day event is held twice a year, with art activities designed around the residency exhibitions. Artpace's education programs play a critical role in supporting our mission to engage the public with global art practices and experiences. Artpace education programs include the artpace teen council, university internships, workshops, and age-specific tours. See schedule o for continuation.

Curatorial residency: after recognizing the significant impact the international artist-in-residence guest curators' studio visits have on texas artists, artpace developed a curatorial residency, which invites curators each year to artpace for a two-to-six-week residency. The program provides national and international curators time and resources to expand their practice, gain experience, develop professionally, discover artists, and build relationships. Texas artists have comparatively limited access to established curators and art critics compared to artists in creative hubs, such as new york or los angeles. By supporting curators in conducting studio visits and writing about their experiences, the residency brings greater exposure to texas artists and provides them with professional opportunities.during their residency, curators conduct a minimum of 20 studio visits with artists they select from our texas open call and past residents. In addition to submitting their writings to national publications, curators publish written content for artpace's website. Artpace follows the curators' careers and professional accomplishments and stays in touch after their residencies. Curators can propose a future exhibition at artpace and will also be considered for international artist-in-residence guest curator opportunities. The curatorial residents are provided with a stipend, a travel budget, access to our comprehensive library and archive, an artpace vehicle, and a furnished apartment.these curators display scholarly rigor, exhibition experience, inclusivity, and a strong record of academic and critical writing. This experience is important to provide texas artists with professional opportunities and exposure through these studio visits. This residency, however, also supports emerging curators, allowing them time and resources to explore and grow their curatorial practice. In addition, artpace provides residency opportunities for historically underserved communities through multiple partnerships with institutions such as spelman college and the emerging curators institute, minnesota.
