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.

Established in 1982, the prestigious Core Residency Program at the Glassell School of Art awards residencies to exceptional, highly motivated emerging artists and critical writers committed to developing a sustainable practice.

CEC ArtsLink supports transnational cultural mobility and collaboration, empowering artists and arts leaders to engage communities in dialogue and creative projects for a more equitable, compassionate and sustainable world. We resolutely embrace inclusivity, independent expression, human rights, and the development of civil societies.

CEC ArtsLink supports dialogue between artists and communities through individual encounters, public events, transnational networks, and virtual platforms. Founded in 1962, CEC ArtsLink believed that it was essential for citizens of the United States and the Soviet Union to meet and build mutual trust, while their governments engaged in the Cold War. Today, artists and arts leaders play a vital role in nurturing civil societies. Through the simple act of bringing people together in a shared experience, through exploration of the unfamiliar, art can dissolve borders and help communities overcome distrust and insularity. As nations increasingly retreat behind their borders, it becomes imperative for the work of artists and arts leaders to catalyze communities in mitigating conflict and prejudice locally, nationally, and globally.
