Spiro Arts

Organized in 2007, Spiro Arts is a summer Artist-in-Residence (AIR), workshop program and cultural center. Spiro Art's AIR program grants artists the opportunity to live and work as part of a creative community. The AIR sessions run from April through July each year, featuring artists selected from an applicant pool working in a variety of genres and mediums. Spiro Arts requires that applicants be prepared to engage the public during our Open Studio events. Spiro Arts is dedicated to supporting artists, researchers, writers, and composers in the creation of new works by offering an environment that promotes risk-taking and innovation. Residency terms are approximately six weeks long with 4-5 participants per term. These residencies are fully subsidized live and work spaces. A $600.00 stipend is awarded to defray the cost of food, materials and travel.
