of the Visual Arts and Performing Arts Program, California State University, San
Marcos, CA; Dana Friis-Hansen, Senior Curator, Contemporary Arts Museum,
Houston,
TX; and Thelma Golden, Associate Curator, Whitney Museum of American Art, New

As part of a two month residency program, and a one month exhibition period,
The
Foundation will provide selected artists $7,000 for materials and fabrication, 24 hour
access to a studio and wood and metal shops and a living fee of $1,500 each month. In
addition, The Foundation will provide national and international artists a furnished
apartment and two round-trip tickets to San Antonio, one of which is to be used for a
preliminary visit approximately six months prior to the residency. Every effort will be
made to locate special technical facilities at other sites for artists working in different
media (i.e. video, sound, darkrooms, etc.). Exhibitions of completed work created
during
the residency will be mounted and accompanied by exhibition brochures produced by
The Foundation, and all work will belong to the artist. In addition, artists will be
encouraged to share their ideas and become involved with the San Antonio and Texas
arts communities through various forums.

LONDON STUDIO PROGRAM

Marti Mayo, Director of Houston's Contemporary Art Museum, came to San
Antonio last summer to visit artists' studios and select the 1996/97 participants for The
Foundation's London Studio Program. The six San Antonio artists and two arts
administrators who will travel to London include:

Steve Bailey

Callida Borgnino

Jesus Campos

Frances Colpitt

Leonard Kemp

Jack Robbins

Alex Rubio

Kathy Vargas

The selected artists will receive up to a six week stay at The Foundation's
studio/living space, a Mews house in Knightsbridge in a neighborhood close to
London's
Royal College of Art. The award also included a round-trip ticket to London and a
living
stipend. In return, LSP artists are asked to share their experience with the public in an
agreed upon forum in San Antonio.
