In partnership with the Everglades National Park, AIRIE operates a live/work residency program with a mission to support and enhance the arts and cultural heritage of the Everglades subtropical wilderness. Visual artists, performers, musicians, composers, writers and choreographers are invited to apply for a one-month residency, during the months of January, February, March, April, May, June, July, October, November and December.

Residents are provided a $1000 mini-grant from AIRIE, a furnished, air-conditioned studio apartment inside the park, and 24/7 access to over 1.5 million acres of Everglades. AIRIE arranges introductions to park rangers, scientists, biologists, historians, artists, cultural and community leaders to enhance their understanding of the unique and fragile ecosystem of the Everglades. Residency experiences are tailored to the interests of each individual artist, creating opportunities for independence and solitude, as well as interaction, collaboration and public engagement as each artist desires.
