Your Donation to the 2025 Annual Fund enables our provision of generous studios, production support, educational programs and critical dialogue among the artists and writers we host, local audiences, creative professionals and students.
Donors are the foundation to our provision of generous studios, production support, educational programs and critical dialogue among the artists and writers we host. Your contributions – over 84% of our annual operating budget - make possible our invitation to local audiences, students and you, to connect closely with the art and literature by these creative professionals from around the globe.
We have granted residencies to 160 artists and writers from across the United States and 17 countries, who come to produce career-shifting work influenced by grand, historic studios and small-town Texas. Generous support and fully-funded accommodations afford our residents an immersive environment to cultivate new sculpture, painting, film, installation, textile, performance, poetry, fiction and non, translation, and music composition, to list several practices – work that generally exhibits, publishes, screens and performs far beyond here, in New York, Los Angeles, Puerto Rico, Caracas, Paris, Santiago, Berlin, Seoul, Reykjavík, and Dallas. Work that is seen, read, and experienced by people who then learn that Corsicana, this residency, that Texas helped make possible the next museum exhibition, the next bestselling nonfiction, the next film screened at festivals, the next play performed Off-Broadway. Of equal importance is our investment in the cultural vibrancy of rural America, and to express that these places don’t just matter, but are consequential to global conversations in contemporary creative work.
The power of this cultural arena, bringing international artists and writers to this small-town and Texas, is realized only with your donation.
