319 AIR
The five artist-run galleries on the 319 Building’s 2nd floor are hosting artists-in-residence in their spaces from January through July, 2021. The pandemic has made it difficult to safely present exhibitions in our spaces, and at the same time, many artists have been displaced from their studios due to the pandemic’s economic effects. In a time of isolation, we hope that making these spaces available gives inspiration and opportunity to realize new work, new ideas, and new (virtual) connections.
What constitutes a residency or a project is up to the artist. You may simply use the gallery as a space to work, a space to install, experiment, and document, or as space from which to perform or hold a virtual event. We plan to host a series of residencies starting January 15, 2021 with plans to continue the program until it becomes safer to resume exhibitions that are open to the general public.
Each space has WiFi access, but artists should plan on providing their own materials, supplies and tools. Feel free to experiment and install work in the spaces, but you must return them to their original state by the end of the residency. Artists will have 24-hour access to the spaces. Housing in Philadelphia is not provided. Artists outside of Philadelphia are welcome to apply, but must make their own arrangements for living spaces.
In compliance with the City’s new COVID-19 restrictions, no gatherings may take place in the spaces. Only the resident artists may use them. The 319 building is home to a variety of businesses, artist studios, and galleries. We ask that resident artists follow all COVID-19 guidance, including wearing masks and maintaining social distancing in common areas such as bathrooms and hallways.
