Artist-in-Residence Program
Our AiR Program supports local artists who utilize technology as a critical component of their artistic practice. The residency provides space for artistic experimentation around a theme and connects artists to a growing creative community. Artists are provided with a stipend, space, and equipment for 3 months with the resources and time needed to advance their craft and develop innovative works at the intersection of art + tech that contribute to the cultural vibrancy of Fulton County.
