Artists on Site
The Artists on Site project was developed in 2020 as an initiative that transforms the Asia Society Texas galleries into studio and project spaces for Houston-based artists. The idea was born out of conversations starting in early 2020 with many artists, both in Houston and throughout the country, to develop ways that the organization could support them and their practices. Through the gallery presentations and related programs, visitors had the opportunity to connect with these artists and the critically important insights they contribute.

The Artists on Site goal of this project was to provide material, spatial, and relational support for artists living and working in Houston while engaging the museum for visitors. We opened the galleries as public-facing studios so visitors could engage with the artists to learn more about the artistic process. We provided artists with financial stipends and materials fees, providing space to work, and facilitated introductions to other participants in the Houston arts community.
