REAL TIME & SPACE

Lana Williams

Residency Director

Williams studio practice has been based out of RTS for the past 8 years. After finishing graduate school in 2013, Williams had the opportunity to sublet a studio from a friend at RTS, which eventually turned into a permanent space. Williams found a perfect place to land at RTS–a community space that filled the difficult transition post-grad school. 

Williams personal studio practice centers on painting and ceramics, and she is also part of the collaborative Bonanza that operates out of RTS. Bonanza includes another RTS member, Conrad Guevara, and her partner, Lindsay Tully. Bonanza works across disciplines in film, fashion, painting, sculpture, and performance.
