artist in residence program 2027-2028

Bunnell Street Arts Center's Alaska AIR residency program seeks international, US and Alaska artists looking to create new work and strengthen the social, physical and economic fabric of Homer through the arts. Residencies of generally one month are scheduled in fall, winter and spring months of 2027 and 2028. 

The Alaska AIR program selects artist residencies that strengthen Bunnell's community and address pertinent themes. These may include themes such as accessibility, inclusion, sustainability, stewardship, skills sharing and exchange, connection, joy, and enhancing community well-being. Community engagement strategies might include collective art-making, performances, Artist in Schools programs, workshops for general or specific audiences (i.e. seniors, youth, etc), or other artist-driven visions. 

Bunnell accepts artists working in mediums including (but not limited to) visual arts, literary arts, performing arts, social and civic practice, ephemeral art, moving image, movement and dance,  music composition and performance, and more.

Bunnell's Alaska AIR residencies are generally scheduled October through May during the Alaskan fall, winter, and spring months. 

A premier exhibition and performance space with historic charm, Bunnell's main floor doubles as an open studio for artists in residence. 

Lodging is generally a private room with a private bath, with a shared kitchen and living area located in the apartment upstairs from Bunnell Street Arts Center, or similar accommodations elsewhere in the Old Town neighborhood. 

Residency scheduling and program design is done in consultation with Bunnell's Artistic Director.
