Alaska AIR - Bunnell Arts 2027-2028 Artist in Residence Program

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.

The residency studio is Bunnell's spacious 1000 sq foot main exhibition gallery, open to the public during regular gallery hours Monday-Saturday. Alaska AIR residencies provide a $2000 stipend for a 1 month residency (pro-rated if shorter), round trip travel to Homer (up to $1000 value), lodging in a private room with private bath, and a $250 materials stipend. One to four fully-funded Alaska AIR residencies are awarded annually; additional or partially-funded residencies may be awarded as funding and scheduling permit.
