Applications for 2026 Carter Community Artists Open August 1

Applications open Friday, August 1, 2025, for the Amon Carter Museum of American Art’s 2026 Carter Community Artists.

Each year, the Carter selects four local artists to assist with creating, planning, and leading experiences at the Carter and in the community. This yearlong opportunity invites selected artists to collaborate with the Museum’s education team on a wide variety of projects and events designed for audiences of all ages and abilities.

Applications will be open through Monday, September 8, 2025, and will be available online at cartermuseum.org/CCA. Selected artists will be announced in late fall 2025.

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.

2025 Carter Community Artists

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.

From January through December, our 2026 Carter Community Artists will bring their skills and perspectives to events and projects as they make connections to the Museum’s expansive collection, exhibitions, and rich history with the local community. Each artist is expected to contribute between 20 and 40 hours over the course of the year. Participation includes a $100/hour honorarium, with hours varying by project.
