| Artists In Residency (AIR) Program |
Artists In Residence (AIR) is a 3-month commitment that can host up to two (2) artists per semester. Each AIR commits to attend and participate in every class and every session we offer during this intense three-month art immersion experience. AIR receive individual artistic direction, instruction and administrative support from the complete studio staff. Interested artists are selected for the program through a competitive selection process. In order to be eligible, artists must have completed at least three (3) consecutive years of class at Braitman Studio, submit a one (1) page artist intent or plan for the upcoming residency, submit a cohesive body of paintings (approx. 10), and schedule an interview with the staff. |
