With our studios, Art + Water hopes to address two problems. The first is that studio space in San Francisco is prohibitively expensive, and this has forced out countless visual artists. Art + Water will provide free studio space to the 30 artists in our yearly residency.
Our 10 established artists will together address the second problem: the wildly high cost of art school. At the moment, one year of art school can cost $100,000, which is absurd.
In response, Art + Water will provide free space for 20 emerging artists, ages 21 and up, to learn directly from those 10 established artists. Together, these 30 artists will share their knowledge, workspaces, ideas, and art practices. We believe our emerging artists will receive a rigorous, skills-based art education. For free.
