2010 marks the 15-year anniversary of AIRspace in San Francisco

AIRspace is now located at The Garage, a new artspace in San Francisco, directed by Joe Landini.


AIRspace (Artist In Residence) is a work-in-progress performance laboratory and rehearsal program at The Garage. AIRspace was originally created at the Jon Sims Center for San Francisco artists to develop production skills and create new work. Twice a year, The Garage selects queer performing artists or artist groups to participate in an ongoing residency that includes fall and/or spring performance showcases for both works-in-progress and finished works. Some artists are also selected to participate in the National Queer Arts Festival at The Garage in June, to present encore presentations in SPF (summer performance festival) and Open Season in The SF Fringe Festival. Applications are encouraged in performance, dance, theater and/or any other multi-disciplinary art form. After being selected, resident artists spend a period of time preparing their pieces (usually 12 weeks), then present their work either in a shared program with other artists or individually. The final length of the residency is determined during the application process and periodical evaluations during the initial phase of the residency (the first 12-weeks).


The Garage provides:
á Four hours of rehearsal space per week, usually Monday-Friday 10am-6pm
á Publicity and technical support
á A one or two night presentation


To apply, please provide:
á A 25-50 word description of your project (description should be appropriate for 975howard.com) and a 300 dpi photo (if one is available) and a 25-50 word biography
