2024 Artist in Residency (AIR) Program

We are thrilled to announce the members of our 2024 Artist in Residency (AIR) Program at Intersection for the Arts! This residency, now in its second year, provides artists with space, time, and resources to hone their skills and forge deeper community connections. 

Our AIR program consists of six fiscally sponsored projects and coworking members from Intersection for the Arts. Over the next five months, they will curate community events and participate in a Marketing Training Series led by Anthem Salgado, founder of ART OF HUSTLE®. AIR program participants will also receive access to coworking space and an unrestricted stipend. 

Meet the members below, and learn more about the program here. Stay tuned for upcoming AIR public programming announcements and social media takeovers on our Instagram account! 

Bridge Live Arts & alloyed mettles 

Bridge Live Arts (BLA) is a Bay Area-based nonprofit organization that creates and supports equity-driven live art. This residency will support BLA’s organizational development as well as the curatorial work of staff member Karla Quintero.

Karla collaborates with Bay Area artist Belinda He on their project 'alloyed mettles'. During the residency, alloyed mettles will create community programming focused on aging in dance.

This residency will support alloyed mettles' community programming and the marketing development of BLA. Their collective hope is for their artists and organization to flourish in tandem.

MC Arts and Culture 

Marin City Arts and Culture supports the healing of multi-generational trauma by providing safe spaces for Black artists to create, exhibit, teach, and connect with other communities. 

During their residency, MC Arts and Culture will offer workshops teaching the art and history of Argentine Tango, led by artist Jean Pierre Sighe. 

Possibly Puppets

Possibly Puppets creates imaginative contemporary puppet shows for family-friendly audiences. They express their handmade stories using a variety of puppet styles, incorporating book arts and lovable characters who explore complex modern themes with creativity and wonder.

During their residency, they hope to enhance their marketing skills, cross-pollinate with other Bay Area artists, share a work-in-progress puppet piece, and organize a public puppet workshop.

RAWdance 

RAWdance is a bicoastal contemporary dance company whose nuanced, crafted, movement-driven dances pose questions ranging from the broadly social to the intimately personal. 

RAWdance plans to use the residency period and resources to support the creation of new works for their 20th-anniversary programming. They also hope to develop new marketing tools and language to share RAWdance's multifaceted, evolving identity and story.

Tableau Stations 

TABLEAU STATIONS is an interdisciplinary performing arts platform that engages with local and global questions of place. Since 2004, they have developed work focused on precarity, displacement, and presence. 

During their residency, they hope to engage in conversations surrounding San Francisco's affordable housing issues and placemaking with a current multi-year, multi-disciplinary project entitled HOME WAVES.

Voices of the Community

Voices of the Community is a radio and television show that centers on community voices and solution-focused outcomes to address social, economic, business, arts and culture, and governmental services issues.

During this residency, Voices of the Community will co-host a community dialogue to support their fellow creative workforce and foster a larger creative economy.
