Applications are reviewed by a panel of three (3) local arts professionals, (e.g. creatives, arts program administrators, former AIR participants).
Each adjudicator assigns a score in each of the four (4) items:
- The applicants’ Arty Crowd profile artistic statement/creative vision.
- The applicants’ Arty Crowd profile examples of their work.
- The applicants’ AIR Application response to ‘how the AIR residency might advance their practice or artistic/creative career’.
- The applicants’ AIR Application response to how their time will be allocated within the studio (20+ hours per week).
Scores are tallied and the top three (3) applications are considered for final selection by HAC and The Cotton Factory staff.
