The Community Artist-in-Residence (CAiR) supports the creative economy, imagination, and civic life on the East End by commissioning regionally based artists to develop socially engaged or participatory work. Artists are provided with creative mentorships, administrative support, a commissioning fee, and a shared studio/workspace on the Guild Hall campus.
