ARTIST IN RESIDENCE (A.I.R.)

Welcome to the Artist-In-Residence program at the 402 Arts Collective. This program was born and brought about our desire to meet the needs of other local artists as they pursue their own work and art form. This program primarily focuses on helping local musicians, bands, solo acts, and other performing arts groups accomplish their goals. This could be putting out a new album, a video project, booking shows, establishing a brand, or growing their marketing efforts. We strongly believe that it takes a community to make great things happen. If you try to do it all on your own, it oftentimes leads to frustration and limited results.

On this page, you will be able to learn more about the growing number of resident artists currently in the program as well as apply for the program if you are interested.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The AIR program can offer tangle support to professional artist practitioners in many ways. Once an artist is accepted into the program, they are in the program for a 12-month term. At the beginning of the program, we evaluate and asses the greatest needs each artist has. From there we establish a strategic plan for the upcoming year. This plan guides all tactics and aspects of support that are provided. Among the ways we can support are these examples:

  • Marketing

  • Studio space

  • Booking management

  • Branding

  • Business coaching and systems

  • Legal
