Are you a passionate artist based in North Texas looking to inspire, connect, and create meaningful community impact through your work? The Amon Carter Museum of American Art wants YOU to be part of the 2026 Carter Community Artists program!
Carter Community Artists is an annual initiative dedicated to supporting and working with local artists. This initiative was launched in 2018 to enhance the Carter’s events, connect the North Texas community with practicing artists, and build a network among local artists.
Moreover, Carter Community Artists are driven by a deep passion for the arts, a genuine love for our community, and a desire to create connections between audiences and the Museum through collaborative work with Carter staff. Their practices range across a variety of topics, media, and themes, each bringing a unique point of view to the program.
This unique initiative offers local artists a platform to engage with the museum, collaborate on educational and public programs, and amplify their voice in the community—all while receiving a stipend and invaluable professional development.
