RSA AIR Program Application

Applications are open for our first wave of residents! Artists, designers, writers, and photographers are all encouraged to apply. Applications will be accepted and cohorts assembled on a rolling basis, starting Jan 1st 2026. Please specify your flexibility in your dates.
PROGRAM OVERVIEW Our residency program is designed for creatives who want to develop their artistic practice or work on specific projects. All residents may receive training on new equipment and attend workshops to develop their individual projects and make new work. There are no specific outcome requirements and we encourage artists to use this time and space to learn and explore. We offer 3 different residency types- RISO, Silkscreen, and Studio. All residents receive dedicated space in a shared studio and optional trainings. We encourage our residents to make use of this time to develop a project but it could also be used for experimentation and learning. There are no required outcomes of this residency. We accept one resident per category at a time to provide the most access to equipment and tools.
