Application Guidelines

Overview

The Paseo Artist in Residence Program offers artists a platform to create, collaborate, and celebrate the Austin arts community for one year, rent-free. Artists will have a private, complimentary living space at Paseo, a brand-new apartment community in the heart of downtown Austin, located on Rainey Street. The program is open to all artists, working in any medium, at any stage of their career.
