Parts & Labor supports a flourishing practice for artists who are caregivers.
Located in SouthTown San Antonio, Parts & Labor is a non-profit organization which offers mid-career artist residents focused time, space, and resources in their pursuit of creative work. Tailored to meet the unique needs of caregivers, the residency provides the necessary support and infrastructure to “free up” artists to work.
“The mission of this project resonates deeply with me. I don’t think making art and caregiving are incompatible but the total lack of structural support, in the art world and the world at large, makes it a huge challenge. We need more programs like these that keep artist parents making work.”

Diary of an artist: ChRIS BAKER
“All in all, I had the opportunity to make work that I believe is the beginning of a lot of other work, and I think thats the idea at Parts & Labor. Thanks 1 million times to all of the humans down there keeping things going.”
