Raising Funds to Launch Up and Coming Artists.

Starting in 2018 SANMAN was relaunched with the same principle “see a need, meet a need” but with a specific commitment to nurturing the young artistic talent in Houston. The SANMAN Residency is focused specifically on supporting burgeoning visual arts talent in Houston. The fine arts world can be very restrictive, often stifling many artists early in their careers with educational and class barriers. Our goal with this initiative is to provide dedicated and talented artists the space and tools needed to produce and promote their work.  

Collaboration is a core feature of the program because artists are able to work together and create in tandem within a shared space. Our artists work in different mediums and genres, stretching from mixed collage to abstraction to fashion design. Each artist will have support in putting on a solo and/or group show. During the program, the artists receive professional development and mentorship from esteemed artists in the region. The synergy created within our communal space will be replicated for local patrons to experience and behold.
