Air Småland
AiR Småland is a new residency program run by the Cultural Development Section of Region Jönköping County, with support from the Swedish Council for Cultural Affairs. The goal is to provide space and time for artistic development by offering residency in the county. The residencies are provided through residency scholarships for visiting artists who will be welcomed by a local scholarship recipient and host.
The purpose of AiR Småland is to support the community for independent arts, cultural operators and institutions of Jönköping County, while the county’s cultural life is stimulated by the exchange with visiting artists from across Sweden and the world.
AiR Småland welcomes artists working in the fields of literature, dance, art and design and film. For each residency period, two recipients are appointed: a local host and a visiting resident. The aim is to give both the possibilities to focus on artistic investigative work as well as time and space for inspiration and artistic development within their field. Scholarships for the residency period are awarded to both parties.
The first residency will take place from September 9 to December 9 2024, this time with a focus on literature. Residency periods for the other art fields will be announced in autumn 2024.
Application
The application for artists within the fields of art and design and dance opens in the autumn of 2024.
