Artists in Residence in Everglades (AIRIE)

Miami, Florida, United States

The Artists in Residence in Everglades (AIRIE) program offers a unique opportunity for artists across various disciplines to engage deeply with the Everglades National Park's environment and community. Since its inception in 2001, AIRIE has facilitated over 200 artists, writers, musicians, and other creatives, fostering a rich dialogue between these residents and the park’s ecological and cultural fabric. The program, funded by various foundations and donors, provides a monthly stipend and a supportive residency environment that encourages artists to explore and interpret the Everglades' natural and social landscapes without the pressure of immediate production deadlines.
