=Estudio Aire is the only local Artist-In-Residence program in San Bernardino.
Our program meets emerging and mid-career artists from our local and regional communities. Artists have access to a self-contained studio space that is free to use for two consecutive months at no cost to the artist. Artists are to engage in and create a culminating happening during their residency that centers on their artistic or cultural practice. The artists are provided with a supply stipend, free use of materials in the studio, and are supported to learn technical skills through project mentoring. Estudio Aire meets artists where they are at in their artist hood and provides customized professional and career development support and training.
Through this residency program, Artists will have access to an ever-evolving network and community of artists in the region who become part of the program cohort. It is important that we highlight and lift up artists within our community. We are in search of people who were born in, live in, and/or have strong connections to the growing community of San Bernardino.
We are seeking artistic expressions that align with our 4 Core Pillars of Arts Connection:
- Strengthening Arts Education and Artist Career Pathways from Cradle to Career: Connecting Youth Programming and Career Pathways for Artists
- Creative, Inclusive Economic & Workforce Development: Making & Sustaining Space for Creative Work and Culture.
- Cultural Equity and Cultivating Communities of Belonging
- Arts and Culture Advocacy and Policy: Capacity Building, Partnerships & Leadership Development.
