Artist residencies are focused on individualized attention and flexibility. Designed ad hoc for each individual, the 1-year residency includes a yearlong Side Street LAB membership, which includes full access to all LAB resources, including silk screen, printmaking, photography, and ceramics equipment; networking and exhibition opportunities provided by SSSA Membership, and a stipend for supplies and creative and exhibition support. The AIR will also receive individualized arts administration mentorship and support leading up to a culminating exhibition of their work at SSSA. This support may include marketing, grant writing, installation, creative professional development, and so on, according to their individual needs and interests. and making connections within Side Street’s extensive artist network.
