Local Information

This year’s Hotbox residency will be located in MASS's gallery space in East Austin, Texas. Residents will have daily access to the 800 square foot gallery which is furnished with track lighting, air conditioning, a chair and work table, wireless internet, ladder, and basic installation tools as needed. Likewise residents are welcomed to utilize MASS’s surrounding uncovered outdoor space for installations, performances, or production. MASS offers no production workshops of any kind but, if necessary, can assist in finding available options to satisfy specific project needs and/or other desired resident activities.
