ABOUT
Futurefarmers Artist in Residence (AIR) program provides opportunities for young artists, designers writers and architects to unite in the collaborative environment of Futurefarmers studio. Since 1997, we have hosted over 25 artists from 13 countries. These AIR's have developed their own projects and have worked on Futurefarmers projects during their residency. The AIR program forms the basis for many ongoing collaborations. Many residents have continued to collaborate with us as partners.

Residents are encouraged, but not required to maintain a balance of personal work and collaborative work with Futurefarmers while in the program. We work together with residents to provide a supportive environment for research and exploration.

FINANCIAL AID
The AIR program offers partially sponsored, live-out residencies. Sponsorship is available based on financial need. Financial aid from Futurefarmers depends on our current financial well being. In the past, a $500/month stipend has been granted. Artists are also invited to work on paid projects to provide income, but work visa’s are required. We will work with prospective residents to facilitate financial aid.

TIME PERIOD
Residencies range from six weeks to six months.

APPLICATION DEADLINE
Applications are accepted year-round. Residents are selected based on merit through an open application and upon invitation.
