Basin Arts offers residency programs for artists of all disciplines. Our residencies provide a supportive environment for artists to create, experiment, and collaborate with other artists. Our goal is to foster creativity and community in the arts.
LINEAGE Award & Residency
2025 Honorees: Francis X. Pavy & Grace Hamilton-Mayfield
The LINEAGE award honors visual and performing artists who have contributed a lifetime’s worth of creativity to the Acadiana region and beyond, whose practice embodies the community values of Basin Arts, and those who have laid the foundation for future artistic generations.
Following the award presentation, the artists will participate in a year-long mentorship residency at Basin Arts, engaging with artists through workshops, critique nights, and other programs specific to the honoree’s practice. The residency culminates in Fall 2026 with an exhibition dedicated to their creative legacy. ​​​
