TX/RX Labs has a long history of assisting and supporting artists and makers. Today marks the beginning of a much larger collaboration between Houston's Artists and Makers and the extensive facilities, education, and community which has developed at TX/RX Labs. TX/RX Labs is announcing the creation of Artist Support Grants which will provide access to critical technologies, equipment, space, and collaboration for Houston's Artists on a level never before seen in Houston.
TX/RX Labs is well known among builders and designers for our unique facilities, training, and supportive community. The TX/RX Labs Artist Support Grant provides 6 months of Lab access to Artists allowing them to further develop their practice and techniques. Along with physical access to training and tools, Artists will gain access to the diverse group of collaborators and mentors who are associated with the lab, which will allow them to explore new areas and media, and to expand their creative boundaries.
