Austin Creative Reuse

We’re launching ACR’s first Reuse Artist in Residency Program! This is a program we’ve been dreaming about for many years, and now with the support of an Elevate Grant from Austin Arts, Music, Culture & Entertainment (ACME), we're excited to pilot this program with our community, starting later this summer.

We’re looking for reuse artists who are interested in sharing their work with our community. We're open all mediums, so long as reuse plays a strong role in your past work and the work you propose to complete during your residency. We welcome applications from local reuse artists of all kinds, including emerging artists. No prior residency experience is required.

Applications are due Sunday, July 12 at 11:59PM and the residency will run from August 15-December 15, 2026.

We’re excited to shine a spotlight on one of our newest team members - Jamie McGuinness! As our new Education Coordinator, Jamie will run our Educator programs, including the Materials Mobile and annual pay-what-you-can Educator Extravaganza. She brings her fantastic experience as a former park ranger, wilderness educator, and event coordinator to the role and we’re so excited to have her knowledge and positive attitude on the team! Outside of work, she’s an avid crafter and enjoys Austin’s nature and music scenes with her chihuahua-blue heeler mix, Kara Zor-el.
