Fostering opportunities for dialogue and social interactions between artists and community members of all ages has always been central to the various programs at Artpace.

There are also three furnished apartments for visiting artists and curators to use, an in-house archives and research library, a workshop, and other areas for special events including social gatherings and lectures.

[10] Each guest curator selects one artist from Texas, one from the United States, and one from around the world to Artpace to create original works of art.

[11] Each artist is provided with furnished accommodations, 24/7 studio and exhibition site access, living expenses, a grant to purchase materials, and travel reimbursements.

[17] Each year, Houston Street in downtown San Antonio is transformed by the creation of original, non-permanent chalk murals by artists of all ages and abilities.
