The SAIR Program is designed to give student artist or those with another creative talent or skill, time and space to become part of a community and engage in their practice. SAIRs are paired with a community-mentor, and together they identify a goal for the year, and then plan and facilitate a series of workshops toward that goal. SAIRs are compensated through either room and board within the community where they are placed (such as a senior living facilities) or they receive a stipend.
