This year AIRIE received more than 200 applications for its 2024 residency program reflecting our deepened commitment to supporting artists whose work will impact and elevate issues surrounding environmental, climate, and racial justice through art and efforts to help preserve the Everglades and make the outdoors accessible for all.
During their 2024 residences, each AIRIE Fellow will interact with the prompt, How Do You Define Innovative Storytelling? How Can This Innovation Be Used As A Tool To Educate, Preserve, And Celebrate The Natural Environment?
