Lawndale Art Center announces studio program residents

The residents for the Lawndale Art Center's artist studio program have been announced.

Artists Domokos Benczédi, Nancy Douthey and Patrick Turk will spend nine months working on the center's third floor, where they will have 24/7 access to their studio spaces. Additionally, each artist will be given a $500-a-month stipend as well as an initial $1,500 for materials. When the program ends in May, the artists' pieces will be on display at the Lawndale Art Center, which is located at 4912 Main St. in Houston.

The program is open to artists from all mediums. The current residents were chosen from more than 100 artists who applied. Selections were made by Dean Daderko, Contemporary Arts Museum Houston curator; artist Sharon Engelstein; and Adrienne Johnson Yost, Kinzelmann Art Consulting senior associate and Lawndale programming committee chair.
