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. To date, over 190 artists from around the world have resided at Chinati.
Four to six artists are hosted annually for two-month residencies. Resident artists are provided with an apartment on the museum grounds, a studio in downtown Marfa, and access to Chinati’s collection and archive. A stipend of $4,000 is provided for honorarium, travel and art materials.
