Parts & Labor supports a flourishing practice for artists who are caregivers.
Located in SouthTown San Antonio, Parts & Labor is a non-profit organization offering 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.”
