Beginning April 2008 Spiro Arts' AIR program will grant artists the opportunity to live and work as part of a creative community. The AIR sessions run from April through May of each year, featuring artists selected from an applicant pool working in a variety of genres and mediums. Spiro Arts requires that applicants be prepared to engage the public and advocates creative interaction. The AIR programs primary goal is to support artists, researchers, writers and composers in the creation of new works, offering an environment that promotes risk-taking and innovation in art. An average length of a residency is one month with 4-5 participants per term. These residencies are fully subsidized live and work spaces. A $600 stipend is given to defray the cost of food, materials and travel. Emerging and established visual artists, writers, researchers and composers working in all media and genres, engaged in the creation of new work, are eligible. Entry fee.
