November ️Arts in Pomona 🦃

Artist Resources

AIRs are provided with 24/7 access to a self-contained studio space for a one to two-month residency depending on the artist's need. Artists receive a stipend and free use of studio materials. As part of the residency, artists are offered project mentoring and are encouraged to engage the community by offering a culminating event-or series of events, an exhibit, or happenings-during their stay. These events are shaped by the artist's creative inquiry and practice, and are intended to foster communities of belonging.

Applications close December 5th, 2026.
