ARTIST
The City of Pompano Beach Cultural Affairs Department is delighted to relaunch its cultivating Artists in Residence (AiR) program at the historic Bailey Contemporary Arts Center (BaCA). The AiR Program is designed to provide opportunity for artists to have a designated time and space to create new work, collaborate between fellow resident artists, as well as give opportunity for these artists to engage with our Eightcommunity.dynamicartists were selected by a distinguished jury to foster and serve nine months in residency at BaCA from October 2022 through June 2023. Each month, we’ll shine the spotlight on an “Artist of the Month” that features the works and creative programs of the featured artist. AiR artists will be on-site each week creating art and the arts-loving community is invited to BaCA to watch the creative process unfold and to see the latest output. At the conclusion of the residency, AiR artists will share their new artworks in a culminating exhibit and event.
