Correction to Call for Artists! *New* (In Community Notices, see bold below)
The Artist in Residence and Educational Program (A.I.R.E.) is calling for artists to apply for the first residency term at the Jefferson County Transfer Station occurring June-August 2023. Inspired by the AIR program in San Francisco, Recology, Glean in Portland, and the Recycling educational site at Signal Mountain TN, the A.I.R.E. Program aims to provide an artist in residency to a local artist while the artist in turn, will help bring to light our issues of waste through creative processes. A.I.R.E. offers mining privileges for materials at the dumping grounds at the Jefferson Co. Transfer Station from June – August 2023. The artist will earn a $2,000 stipend and can exhibit their work for a weekend in September 2023. Artists will be asked to spend 12-20 hours per week (2 of those committed to education) in the small studio/office on site or in their respective studios.
The A.I.R.E. committee will be accepting application from Dec 19th, 2022 through Feb 14th, 2023. For inquiries and/or application, please contact us by email.
