About

The three-month Genspace Artist in Residence (AIR) program will support artists at the beginning of their investigation into the connections between the microbial world and their creative practice. The AIR program is designed for artists who want to devote intensive time to delving into biology's tools, knowledge, and techniques and exploring the intersection between science and the arts, a field known as BioArt. The AIR program will provide scientific mentoring, access to laboratory facilities, classes, a welcoming and active Genspace community, and a stipend. AIRs will receive support to share their work with the general public and the Genspace community through public programming and an exhibition.
