Description

The museum works with individuals and artist groups who are drawn to collaboration, interested in interdisciplinary dialogue, and open to developing new working methods. Projects have taken countless forms, such as multimedia performances, theatrical productions, animated filmmaking, immersive installations, walking tours, and online projects.

The program allows artists to embed within the unique culture of the institution, affords access to a dynamic and distinct staff, and provides opportunities for cross-pollination with a diverse public. While the museum allows room for variance, residencies typically unfold over two years and include both an exploratory and project-development phase.

The AIR program is an opportunity for artists to begin their residency with a sense of curiosity and experimentation rather than a fully formed idea and to work in a co-creative manner with the Exploratorium.
