We work with a collection of artist-rehabilitated, historic sites to enable artists and writers to pursue their craft in focus. These places offer studio and living accommodations throughout a cross-section of architectural settings typical to 1890s to 1920s in small-towns like Corsicana bridging the American South and West.
100 WEST
100 West is the founding site for this residency program. Constructed as an Odd Fellows Lodge in the 1890s, this unaltered building provides a 2,400 square-foot third-floor artist studio in the original Encampment Hall, a 600 square-foot writing studio in the Encampment Hall’s anteroom, and a 2,400 square-foot second-floor artist studio in a former meeting hall. The studios and domestic space function with period pieces and artist-made furniture produced on site that respect the monastic approach defining 100 West.
Since 2012, this site has been preserved and developed into 100 West by founder Kyle Hobratschk, who maintains a studio practice in the first-floor wood shop while accommodating residents upstairs.
