ART RESIDENCY

The Teacher Props Art Residency offers artists the opportunity to transform everyday spaces through bold, original artwork. Designed for emerging and established creatives alike, the residency centers on creating murals, installations, and paintings that bring character, creativity, and beauty to properties throughout the Teacher Props portfolio. These properties, which include interior residential common spaces and exterior public facing spaces, serve as a canvas for artists to enhance their surroundings and make beauty a more accessible part of daily life. 

Artists in residence are invited to produce site-specific work that reflects their personal style while responding to the unique character of each space. The residency provides time, visibility, compensation, and a material stipend for artists to experiment and create meaningful visual contributions. Above all, the program celebrates the power of art to uplift spaces, spark curiosity, and make the built environment more vibrant and welcoming for those who live within and amongst it. 

Applications for 2026 are currently closed. Applications for 2027 will open Mid 2026.

Daisies - 2322 Fleet St.

When I first entered the back patio at 2322 Fleet, I was immediately inspired by the flowers the tenants were growing in the space. They were hanging on to the last warmth of fall, providing pops of color against the gray cinderblock walls. Immediately I thought of Donald Sultan’s poppies, Warhol’s flowers, and the classic Marimekko pattern. I knew I wanted to create similarly bold and simplified flower shapes, and a color scheme that incorporated the TP colors seemed fitting for my first large scale project of the Teacher Props residency. As such, “Daisies” took shape at 2322 Fleet.

Address Signs

Originally commissioned as a one off piece to cover the remnants of a former AC unit, this address sign project has become an effort to bring some character to a collection of Teacher Props facades. Each sign is unique to it’s property, and many are inspired by the neighborhoods within which they reside. The signs are made from glass tiles, hand painted with acrylic, and sealed with a UV resistant epoxy to protect them from the elements.
