Fully Funded Artist in Residency Programs
This page includes a list of fully funded Artist in Residency Programs (AIR) that provide both housing and a monetary stipend or award. For the purpose of this page, we have opted to not include AIR programs that do not provide housing, as we do not consider those programs to be “fully funded”.
We will update this list periodically.
