With over 80 applications from 22 states and three countries outside the U.S., the 2015-2016 residents represent some of the top craft artists in the field. Access to ongoing professional development, a place in the annual In Residence group exhibition, and exposure to Houston collectors are just a few of the perks. A residency at HCCC paves the way to future residencies, teaching positions, and exhibition opportunities. With many former residents continuing to live and work in the area, our Artist Residency Program is an integral force in shaping and building the Houston arts community.

The application process for the 2016-2017 cycle will open in October, 2015. To learn about our current resident artists, click here. Follow us on Instagram @CraftHouston and search for #CraftResidents to see the latest images!
