Echo Arts

Location

966 Echo Hill Road
Medina, TX 78055
United States

Echo Arts is an artist-run residency and art, performance, and arts education space in the Texas Hill Country, our mission is to support working artists by providing them with time, space, and a stipend to create their work. We believe that making art is a vehicle for making a kinder, more just world. We will welcome practitioners from a wide variety of disciplines, such as music/sound, painting/drawing, film/video/dance, photography, writing, and sculpture. 

Our vision is to make experimental, expansive, and affordable art programming in the Hill Country, while facilitating artist immersion in this unique part of Texas. We will cultivate dialogue among artists and create opportunities for them to work and exhibit in this natural setting–enriching the region culturally, fostering connections between urban and rural communities, and, in the wake of the devastating summer 2025 flooding, contributing to spaces of joy, reflection, and collective recovery. Echo Arts will strive to be accessible and supportive to everyone, with special attention paid to childcare and in building out and renovating our studios to accommodate differently-abled bodies and minds. Our program structure and schedule will be wholly artist-centered.

Echo Arts will create a connection between the Hill Country and the world. Artists working with Echo Arts will contribute to the local community through public classes, exhibitions, and more. Our organization will host an annual experimental arts festival, featuring performances and outdoor installations. One way we will foster a vibrant, supportive arts community on a local, national, and international scale is by including thoughtful, engaged artists, art workers, educators, and other humanity-affirming individuals and groups in the planning of Echo Arts from the start. Echo Arts artist residency will open to our first artists in Spring/Summer 2027.

Additional Eligibility Information

The MAD Artist Studios residency supports artists and designers working across craft, design, and the visual arts. The program is committed to fostering a diverse community of practitioners, with a continued focus on artists from historically underrepresented communities. It places particular emphasis on artists whose practices engage historic studio craft materials, including wood, fiber, glass, ceramics, metal, and stone, as well as those exploring new technologies.

To be eligible, applicants must: 

  • Be an artist or designer with an active studio practice working in the applied arts. 
  • Be a resident of the New York City metro area. 
  • Be at least twenty-one years old at the time of application. 
  • Be a U.S. citizen or legal resident of the United States with a valid SSN or EIN. 

 Selection Process 

Applications are reviewed by a committee of Museum staff and professionals in the fields of art, craft, and design. The strongest candidates demonstrate a mature body of work that reflects both technical skill and a developed conceptual framework. Because the Artist Studios are a vital part of the visitor experience at MAD, applicants should show a genuine readiness to engage with the public and benefit from the open studios format.      

Applicants are strongly encouraged to visit the Artist Studios in person before applying, to gain a full understanding of the space and its public-facing nature.      

During the first round of review, each application is evaluated by members of the Selection Committee according to the following criteria: 

 Applicants should have a body of work that: 

  • Engages critically with the transdisciplinary fields of contemporary craft, design, art, and technology 
  • Demonstrates a strong conceptual framework 
  • Shows deep engagement with process and materials 

Applicants should: 

  • Outline a clear direction or question to explore during the residency 
  • Demonstrate a readiness to engage with MAD’s visitors, teen interns, and school groups through the open studios format 
  • Reflect an understanding of the unique advantages and limitations of the Artist Studios space 

Top-rated applications advance to review by the Selection Committee. Selected applicants are invited to interview with the Deputy Director of Education and Manager of Public Programs and Studios. Finalists’ references are contacted to assess communication and interpersonal skills. Because Artist Studios residents regularly interact with K–12 students, all selected artists must complete a background check.       

Notification Process 

Initial notifications will be sent in October 2026 indicating whether applicants have advanced to the final stage of consideration. Finalists will be invited to meet for a studio visit and interview with members of the Education Department in November 2026. Final determinations and offers will be made in December 2026.
