Artists in Residence

The Chinati Foundation’s Artists in Residence program was instituted in 1989 by Donald Judd with the aim of supporting artists of diverse ages, backgrounds, and disciplines. Many participants elect to hold an open studio, give a public performance, or create an installation while at Chinati; these presentations become an important part of the museum’s exhibition program and provide a vital complement to the permanent collection. Four to six artists are hosted annually for two-month residencies with an apartment on the museum grounds and a studio in downtown Marfa. To date, over 190 artists from around the world have resided at Chinati.

The Chinati Foundation’s Artist in Residence Program is generously supported by the Milton and Sally Avery Arts Foundation.
