Established in 2020, The Square House Project began advancing the work of visual artists of African and Afro-Latinx descent through its Black Artist-in-Residence program. The Square House Project recognizes that Black artists are underrepresented in the art world, and that dedicated studio space is key for developing an artistic practice. By implementing this residency program, The Square House Project seeks to make the valuable resource of studio space more readily available to Black artists in the Historic Black Neighborhood of East Austin.

Every year, the Square House Project offers a nine-month residency for Black Visual Artists based in Austin working in any visual media. Individuals selected for the residency receive a free studio space with optional living and local partnerships to support their next growth phase.

Troy Campa of Camiba Gallery is a supporter of the program and served on the selection committee in its founding year.

Camiba Gallery is pleased to present work from winner Evelyn Ngugi, who is midway through her residency period, as well as three finalists from the 2021 selection: Arielle Austin, Clifford Bunn and Lakeem Wilson.

There are three other 2021 finalist whose artworks are not in this exhibit. They are: Aimee Everett, Nailah Sankofa, and Dana McKnight.

The Square House Project Exhibit opens at Camiba Gallery with a reception on Thursday December 16, 2021 from 6pm to 9pm. The exhibit runs through January 15, 2022.
