Coming Soon ... Artist Residency Program
Austin is a city that celebrates and nurtures artists and thrives due to the creatives who have made Austin unique and amazing. We want Austin to continue to be that dynamic place that welcomes and cultivates the creative spirit.
The Franklin Common Arts Residency is a collaboration between Raasin in the Sun and Franklin Common, a property at 2011 EM Franklin Ave in East Austin between Manor and MLK. We know that space for artists is scarce and expensive in Austin, and our goal is to support promising artists with access to resources to focus on and showcase their work. |
