Embracing
experimentation and
discovery through
accessible artist
residencies.
High Concept Labs (HCL) strengthens the creative sector by providing accessible residency programs for artists across disciplines interested in experimentation, discovery, exchange, and risk. Through these residencies, HCL meets artists where they are while promoting visibility for the creative process and advocating for critical investment across every stage in the development of new work.
HCL presents an evening of installations and performances by HCL 2024 Fellow Artists in Residence, including works from Sofia Gabriel Del Callejo, Helen Lee, Regina Martinez, Allen Moore, and Rigo Saura. This showcase offers an opportunity to experience new works across a wide range of disciplines, all incubated with support from HCL, and to celebrate this cohort of artists completing their second year in the HCL residency program.
The program will also include performances by HCL alumni, Irene Hsiao and Cat Mahari.
