Artists in Residence

AiR Program

The City of Pompano Beach Cultural Affairs Department is delighted to host the annual Artists in Residence (AiR) Program during October thru May of each year. During the selection period in May, a distinguished panel of judges selects eight new artists to be part of annual class.

The AiR Program takes place at the historic Bailey Contemporary Arts Center (BaCA) which houses ten art studios and features three galleries that serve as exhibition and education spaces. During the program the selected artists are provided with their individual studio space to create new work, collaborate with fellow resident artists, and engage with our community.

This dynamic and diverse group of artists will be in residence for eight months with a monthly focus for each one to present their “Artist of the Month” exhibition giving them with the opportunity to showcase their work and create unique programs to attract art lovers to BaCA. At the culmination of the residency, AiR artists will share their new artworks in an exciting group exhibition in June.
