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;
