The Lawndale Artist Studio Program is part of Lawndale’s ongoing commitment to support the creation of contemporary art by Gulf Coast area artists. With an emphasis on emerging practices, the program provides three artists with studio space on the third floor of Lawndale Art Center at 4912 Main Street in the heart of Houston’s Museum District. Artists have full access to their studios 24 hours a day, seven days a week; access to visiting artists, writers and curators; and receive a $500 monthly stipend for the duration of the program together with an initial $1500 materials allowance. If accepted, artists are expected to present a workshop or presentation to the general public and the local arts community to share their practice or explore a related topic. Works produced during the program will be exhibited at Lawndale Art Center in May 2011. Lawndale Art Center works with resident artists to create additional exhibition opportunities during the residency.

They have been awarded the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council’s Residency in New York City, a residency at the Experimental Television Center and an Ohio Arts Council Individual Creativity Award. They have also received a Carol Crow Fellowship from the Houston Center for Photography and a Houston Arts Alliance Artist Grant. They live and work in Houston TX where Mary Masgamen is the curator for the mirco-cinema The Aurora Picture Show and Stephan Hillerbrand teaches in the University of Houston Digital Media Program. Artist's Website Daniel McFarlane was born in Houston, TX. He graduated with a B.F.A. in Studio Art from Sam Houston State University and recently completed an M.F.A. in Painting and Drawing from the University of Florida. At Florida, McFarlane was awarded an Alumni Fellowship and instructed undergraduate studio courses. McFarlane has had growing success exhibiting his paintings. This fall he is showing work with the gallery Volume Black in New York City. He was selected by juror Toby Kamps of the Contemporary Arts Museum for the 2010 Baum MFA Competitive to be held at the University of Central Arkansas in September 2010. McFarlane has also been included in exhibits at the Smithsonian Museum and the Faber Birren National Color Award show. His work is featured in the first annual MFA edition of New American Paintings artist book, No. 87 as well as Studio Visit, Vol. 5 and 10. Artist's Website Anthony Thompson Shumate, a multimedia artist and designer, has an M.F.A. in Sculpture from the University of Houston (2005) and a BFA from the University of Texas in San Antonio (2001). He is the recipient of several arts and advertising awards including a 2006 New Works Fellowship for Emerging Artist from the former Cultural Arts Council of Houston/Harris County, an ArtPix Grant for Las Pozas: Steps and Falls, a cd-rom produced in partnership with photographer/videographer Rob Ziebell, six ADDY awards from the American Advertising Federation, and two Bronze Quill awards in excellence in design. Shumate is a working artist in Houston, where he pursues contemporary sculpture. In work that combines corporate design and contemporary art aesthetics, Shumate creates a subversive commentary on the modern American social landscape. It is unimportant to the artist if the audience is fully in tune with all intellectual, artistic, and sociopolitical aspects of the work, but rather once having seen the work, audience members begin to participate in the commentary or issue that the work itself addresses. Artist's Website The 2010-2011 residents were selected by a panel of three arts professionals; Robyn O’Neil, Artist; Andrea Pollan, Director, Curator’s Office, Washington, D.C.; and Robert Ruello, Artist and Lawndale Programming Committee Chair.
