Atelier 501

An artist residency in the heart of Austin, Texas. A place where creative practice meets community, housed in a 1917 Colonial Revival landmark with deep family roots.

Atelier 501 offers 1-3 month residencies for artists seeking dedicated time and space to develop their work. Our co-living and co-working model brings together creators from diverse backgrounds to share ideas, inspiration, and the everyday experience of making art.

Located in the historic Kleberg House at 501 W 12th Street—just steps from the Texas State Capitol—the residency provides a quiet, light-filled studio in a designated Austin Historic Landmark. Residents have access to private living quarters, dedicated workspace, and a community of fellow artists.
