The application cycle for 2023 Artists in Residence in Everglades (AIRIE) residencies is now open. The deadline for applying is September 30, 2022 at 11:59pm.

AIRIE believes artists are uniquely positioned to engage communities for a more inclusive and just future. Over the course of the 2022-2024 seasons, AIRIE is investigating how we can make the outdoors a space of belonging. Preservation of our natural environment and the fight against climate change will only be successful if there is racial equity in the movement. Our 2022 AIRIE Fellows reflect this new initiative.

AIRIE applications are reviewed by prominent regional leaders and experts in our National Advisory Panel. Panelists review applications in search of the highest quality proposals that can best make use of this unique experience to live, work and learn from the Everglades, taking into consideration the linkage between art, science and nature, as it is embedded and reflected in their work and proposal. Following this competitive process, 10 artists or artist groups are invited to be Artists in Residence in Everglades for the 2023 calendar year.

AIRIE welcomes proposals from visual artists, writers, scholars, composers, choreographers and other creatives During their residencies, AIRIE Fellows engage with park rangers, scientists, environmental advocates, community and cultural leaders to enhance their understanding and experience in this fragile ecosystem that covers the southern tip of the state of Florida.

Residents are provided a $4,000 grant from AIRIE, an air-conditioned studio cabin on park property near the Homestead, FL entrance to the park and 24/7 park access.

For additional information, visit www.airie.org or email Arsimmer McCoy, AIRIE Residency Coordinator, residency_coordinator@airie.org All potential applicants are invited to attend the online information session and free public events that will elaborate upon the resident experience, and offer opportunities to attend and engage with AIRIE staff and former residents.
