Fifty-five miles south of Dallas lies the sleepy town of Corsicana, Texas. Known for its award-winning cheerleading program and the Collin Street Bakery (the world’s largest manufacturer of fruit cakes), it’s also home to a world-renowned artist residency, 100W. Housed in the now-defunct 1898 Odd Fellows Lodge, 100W hosts rotating groups of artists and writers for several month-long residencies. Kyle Hobratschk founded 100W in 2012 and has hosted artists from around the world who’ve utilized the space and the town in fascinating ways. The allure of Texas is legendary, and many of Kyle’s residents use their time to investigate the town while deepening their artistic practice. In our conversation, we talk about the challenges of running a residency, why it matters, and the impact of creative practitioners in small towns.
