International artist-in-residence program

Artpace is known for their International Artist-in-Residence program, which involves bringing one artist from Texas, one from the United States, and one from around the world, to Artpace to create an original work of art.[3] The International Artist-in-Residence artists are chosen by a guest curator and the program invites nine artists per year to live and work at Artpace in three different four month cycles.[4]

Education

Artpace's education programs expose the youth of San Antonio to think critically about art.[5] The education department at Artpace has K-12 Programs, Community Programs, U of Artpace (University Programs), and Adult Programs.[6]

Chalk It Up

Chalk It Up is an annual citywide family-friendly event that promotes the importance of art education.[7] Each year, Houston Street in downtown San Antonio is filled with chalk drawings, music, and original murals by artists in San Antonio.[8] The event facilitates interactions between the community and contemporary artists.
