8th St. Marketplace AiR Call for Entries

Boise- The 8th Street Marketplace Artist in Residence (AiR) program selects emerging and established artists for six-month residencies in donated commercial office spaces in downtown Boise. AiR originated in 8th Street Marketplace at BoDo, which continues its commitment to the program, and is in an additional site-Renewal "Underground" at 8th and Fulton.

The City of Boise's Department of Arts and History, in partnership with property owners Ephriam Greenwall, G. Square Companies, and the Boise Weekly, administers and co-sponsors the program. In February a selection panel of community business and arts leaders will select new artists for the March-August residency. The selections are to be made based on the strength of the artist's work samples and letter of interest. The panelists are interested in artists of various disciplines and mediums who will fully engage with the spaces and audiences attending on First Thursday studio tours.
