By applying to our program you are agreeing to/understand these terms

Residents receive:

1. Fully furnished housing for the duration of the residency. Housing consists of a two-bedroom, one bathroom, modest apartment on campus. Each room has a twin bed, nightstand, and a private closet. Laundry is off-site and parking is free. The apartment is shared by multiple rotating residents so we do not offer space for children, spouse/partner, friends at this time.

2. Complimentary use of the University fitness facilities.

3. 7 am – 2 am access to creative facilities such as the fine art studios, recording studio, computers, pianos, maker space, etc. Residents have a key to access most facilities however, there are minimal restrictions to access in specific areas that require residents to communicate their needs and plan ahead for access outside of regular office hours and weekends.

4. There are opportunities to collaborate with faculty and observe classes. However, please be mindful that Rare A.I.R. is part of an active University community. Student needs and faculty obligations are our first priority. This residency is best suited for individuals that are very self-reliant and independent.

5. A feature on the A.I.R. program website while on campus and a permanent link in the program archive.

6. A dedicated student intern/assistant that is available on-call 24/7.

7. Free Wifi access across campus.

1. To have a phone or other direct means of contact while on campus.

2. To provide an event during or at the conclusion of the residency such as a recitation, exhibition, performance, or workshop.

3. We welcome (but do not require) residents leave a creative item/found treasure/memento as part of the collection in the residency housing. We also encourage residents to leave comments/reflections in the program guestbook.
