2024 Recycled Artist in Residency

RAIR has 2 residency programs: THE STANDARD RESIDENCY and THE BIGGIE SHORTIE. Both are given access to Revolution Recovery’s waste stream as well as access to RAIR’s staff- who work closely with all residents.

THE STANDARD RESIDENCY: a longer, more traditional studio based program. Standard residents are given access to waste materials and a studio and project space.
THE BIGGIE SHORTIE: a shorter, project based residency. Big project in a short amount of time. The flexible nature of Biggie Shorties allow for projects to be customized to fit each residency.

Requirements

Residents are strongly encouraged to attend a tour before applying to the program. Live Zoom and in person tours with a Q&A session will be scheduled and made available here. If you cannot make a tour, please make time to watch a previously recorded virtual tour here.
