Artists In Residence Fellowship Program | 2026 About Jolt

Jolt is a non‑profit organization founded in 2016 to increase the civic participation of Latinos in Texas to build a stronger democracy and ensure that everyone’s voice is heard. Jolt knows that our democracy works best when everyone gets a seat at the table. That’s why Jolt builds the leadership capacity of Latinos to mobilize their peers to action. Jolt lifts up the voices of young Latinos in Texas to tell their own stories through creative arts and acts, development institutes, and student leadership.

Jolt believes that Texas is poised for change, with a growing and disaffected Latino population. Today, 1 in 3 eligible voters in Texas is Latino and projections indicate that by 2030, Latinos will make up the majority of the state’s population. But demographics alone aren’t destiny. Winning change requires building a homegrown movement and a smart, focused, long‑term strategy that can deliver equality and power to those who are most excluded and often first impacted.

Jolt’s Artists in Residence Fellowship program supports the creative development of Latino artists in Texas. The fellowship aims to create creative culture‑shifting campaigns rooted in the broader cultural experience of the Latinx community of Texas. Jolt’s Artists in Residence program is a collective of artists who pledge to create art that will give shape to a vibrant Latino movement.
