Selected artists will have 24/7 access to their studio as well as tools and equipment. Additionally, they will have the opportunity to participate in artist member critiques and to attend programs led by their peers. Other benefits include exhibitions and studio events that bring in curators, collections, and other art enthusiasts, opportunities for professional documentation of artwork, and a shared resources library.
This year’s Cohort jury includes Narong Tintamusik, a Dallas-based artist and curator; Sara Hignite, an independent curator, artist advisor, and cultural strategist; Will Heron, the Artist Liaison at Meow Wolf Grapevine; Tina Medina, an artist, educator, curator, and former Cedars Union Cohort member; and Vicki Meek, a renowned artist, educator, and community advocate.
