DAIS AIR is a self-directed Artist In Residence (AIR) program that emphasizes the production process rather than the result/outcome. Residents can interact with diverse communities and visitors, enjoy the natural environment, and “plan and execute their own plans.” Currently, we are still testing and developing pilot programs, but in the future we hope to launch the following four categories (at this point… so no guarantee):
Categories
Invitational Residency
Field Trip Project & Field Trip Project Asia participating artists and invitation by DAIS Ishinomaki community.
Curator+Artist Residency
Artists and curators are a close-knit team that executes exhibitions and art projects. However, how well do they understand each other outside of projects? In this program, an artist and a curator will stay together at the same time, deepening their friendships while interacting with DAIS Ishinomaki community.
Artist + Family Residency
This is a program that artists who are working while raising children and/or assisting parents. With this program the artists can participate together with their families.
Art Learning Residency
Artist in Residences (AIR) are popular all over the world, and at DAIS AIR, we would like to expand and interact with various people and share our thoughts and feelings with a wide range of learners involved in school education and social education (learning programs at cultural facilities, alternative spaces, NPOs, etc.), including university teachers involved in the arts. This is a short-term residency focused on workshops and lectures, bringing together people with a passion for art and its education, which enrich our daily lives.
