Hallwalls Artist-in-Residence Project (HARP) is a successful multidisciplinary artists residency program, which is funded in most years (with the exceptions of 1996-97, 1997-98, and 2004-05) by the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency; in all years by The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts; and since 2008 by the Nimoy Foundation. The goal of the project is to support invited artists through professional stipends, materials and fabrication budgets, workspace, access to equipment and technical support, public presentations of their work in solo exhibitions, site-specific installations, screenings, and concerts, and interaction with local artists and communities through collaboration, lectures, master classes, workshops, and in-school residencies.
