What is AIR?
The Artist in Residence program serves students K-12th grade in a collaborative partnership with local working Artist Educators and educational institutions.
Working With AIR
Artist, Rubio, is currently working with Jennifer Arce's class at Lanier High School in SAISD on a mural.
Artists in Residence are local, professional artists who are passionate about inspiring young artists about what it means to be a working artist in San Antonio and beyond.
The Artist In Residence program (AIR) is a program designed to bring working artists into schools and community organizations to provide opportunities to learn and heal through the act of art making.
We believe that this Public Art for Public Schools initiative can leave a life long positive impact on our Bexar County students through the spirit of collaboration.
In this program professional local artists team with the population of the designated site for 12 weeks per semester to fulfill a curriculum that meets the needs of the audience and highlights the artistic expertise of each of the artists and culminates in a "Legacy" or public art piece for the site.
