Artpace

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Artpace is a privately funded contemporary art center that houses the Pace Roberts Foundation for Contemporary Art[1] in San Antonio, Texas[2] founded in 1995 by Linda Pace in a converted car dealership.[1] Some have claimed it as one of the United States' most prestigious residency programs[3][4] with more than 800 applications received for their "Artist in Residence" program in one year[5] and more than 90 participating in its first eight years of operation.[6] Participants come from countries throughout the world, including Estonia and Australia and the program is supported in part by a grant from the Warhol Foundation of New York City.[7][8]
