For over 40 years, Lawndale has filled a vital need in Houston's art community as an incubator for exhibitions, performances, and conversations, encompassing a breadth of perspectives. Lawndale is committed to introducing audiences of all ages and backgrounds to multidisciplinary contemporary art and to advancing the careers of artists living and working in Texas.
Lawndale is a multidisciplinary contemporary art center that engages Houston communities with exhibitions and programs that explore the aesthetic, critical, and social issues of our time.
Lawndale serves as an intimate gathering place for experiencing new art and ideas. Our core programming comprises original exhibitions and commissioned works through our campus' Mural Project and Mary E. Bawden Sculpture Garden. Lawndale's public programs include artist-driven conversations, lectures, and workshops; literary readings in partnership with fellow arts organizations; musical performances through our SPEAKEASY series; and special fundraising events. With the support of an Advisory Board composed of artists, curators, and scholars, Lawndale's mission prioritizes not only merit but also a balance of diverse artistic practices that equitably reflects Houston's expanding population.
The Artist Studio Program (ASP) exemplifies Lawndale's steadfast commitment to supporting the careers of visual artists in the Gulf Coast region. Since 2006, ASP has evolved into a crucial hub for Houston's creative community, thanks to the steady pipeline of artists the residency attracts, many of whom had previously existed on the fringes. Annually, ASP invites three artists for a residency spanning nine months, from September through May. Each resident artist receives a monthly stipend of $500 toward the cost of living, a $5,000 materials stipend for the creation of new work, 24-hour access to a private studio, and the institutional support of Lawndale, including regular studio visits with area artists, curators, and academics. Each Spring, Lawndale mounts an exhibition of the residents' work produced during the residency term. To complement their artwork, each resident artist leads individualized public programs in conjunction with their exhibition.
