Galway Arts Centre | The Air We Share Residency Programme

Air We Share merges science, arts and climate action in three artist's residencies
The Air We Share is an initiative that engages with the increasingly important issue of air quality and pollution through artistic interventions, citizen science and community action, through bringing together an interdisciplinary consortium of local partners. The aim of The Air We Share Programme is to examine and make visible the causes, impacts, and potential solutions to air pollution and to foster a deeper understanding of air and its critical relevance to our shared environment.

The Air We Share A.I.R. Residency Programme

At the core of The Air We Share is the development of an open call for three significant artist in residence opportunities valued at €38,000 each. These are 9 month residencies (Oct 2024- July 2025)  managed by the creative lead partner Galway Arts Centre and open to artists/collectives of all disciplines – including but not limited to; visual arts, socially-engaged practices, immersive technologies, including augmented reality + virtual reality and film, dance, theatre, music, spoken word, and digital arts. The Air We Share invites artists to propose ambitious, innovative and collaborative projects that will engage with the community of Westside and respond to the scientific research related to the atmosphere, air quality, and climate conducted by citizen scientists and climate scientists in the University of Galway.
