RESIDENCIES

Planting Air
In 2021, we created our first artist residency - Planting A.I.R - Artists in Residence, with the aim of supporting young artists who come from low-income background.
In addition to providing a studio studio and a monthly fee, the artists take part in an educational programme in digital art, blockchain and NFTs and a programme of mentoring programme by the resident artists.
