westtown artist residency project
W.A.R.P. started in the summer of 2016 with the mission of giving artists working in diverse media access to studio space and encouraging collaboration between visiting artists and the artists of Envision Unlimited. A fundamental mission of The Weaving Mill is to strengthen the relationship between the artists of Envision Unlimited’s and artists in the wider Chicago arts community. As part of this residency, visiting artists are asked to design workshops and/or collaborative projects with the Envision Arts Studio. Over the years, the program has grown and morphed, changing shape in response to what’s happening at TWM and what’s happening in the world.
See the Past Residents page for profiles of our previous residents.
W.A.R.P. has been supported by the Propeller Fund, the Hyde Park Art Center’s Artist-Run Chicago Fund, as well as direct fundraising and project sales by TWM.
