AIR (Artist in Residence)

An Artist in Residence (AIR) is a program that allows artists to work within a specific community, organization, or location for a set period. During this time, they create art, share skills, or engage with the public, often fostering cultural exchange and community development. AIR programs provide artists with dedicated space and resources, encouraging creative growth and new perspectives. These residencies benefit both artists and communities by promoting artistic dialogue, innovation, and social connection, ultimately enriching cultural life and understanding.
