CORSICANA ARTIST & WRITER RESIDENCY supports the creation and presentation of art and literature with generous provisions and historic space.

Artists and writers are hosted for two-month, funded studio residencies to produce career-shifting work in rare scale and focus, with generous support and immersive space, in an historic setting fifty miles south of Dallas, Texas. Residents are hosted at 100 West – a vast, three-story former Odd Fellows lodge, virtually unaltered since its 1890s construction. Studio work is prioritized and complemented by introductions to professional networks and world-class institutions in North Texas.

This residency takes place in downtown Corsicana - the birthplace of the Texas oil industry and the intersection of this country’s cultural and geographic South and West. Oil booms in the 1890s and 1920s produced an exuberant setting, which declined in care and use by the late 20th century before reviving in the last decade. The complex story of rural and small-town America contributes generative context to this residency experience and consequentially enriches contemporary art and literature.
