AiR 351 – Art in Residence Open Call
For residencies starting on 2018
What´s a AiR 351 residency
Besides providing private studios, offices and shared spaces to work and gather, AiR 351´s professional development program comprises:
– regular studio visits and meetings arranged according to each resident´s practice or research topic; engaging with the local art scene, especially with artists, curators, gallerists and collectors, through diverse activities; exclusive field trips (to art collections, exhibitions, artists studios, etc).
AiR 351´s team will use its best efforts to provide technical assistance.
In addition, according to AiR 351´s review and availability residents can also benefit from:
– presenting their work in public events at AiR 351;
– extending presentation opportunities outside of the residency premises through the organisation´s partnerships, namely with the MAAT, Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology;
Please note that residencies can be exclusively focused on research and dialogue and not necessarily directed towards production or presentation.
Curators in residence are encouraged to interact with artists in residence, propose and organize events.
