Our Artist in Residence program is designed to give people the chance to bring their ideas to life by giving them a space to unleash their creativity, free of charge.

Welcome to our Artist in Residency (AIR) program, where we champion the incredible talent of local creatives in the Tampa area.

At WTR Cooler Studio, we believe in the power of the arts to uplift and inspire our community.

That's why we've created this exclusive yet attainable opportunity for artists to flourish and showcase their work.

How the program works -

every other month we host interviews in search of an artist with a solid and thought out project or story they’d like to tell.

We select one of those artists - give them 10 hours of studio time and 30 days to complete that project and host a showcase for them to invite all of their friends and family to show off their work at the end of that month.

What’s included in the (AIR) program?

  • 10 hours of complimentary studio time within a designated month to work on your project

  • Full access to our state-of-the-art studio facilities

  • Support and check-ins from our dedicated team, providing any assistance you may need

  • A one-night gallery showing at the end of your 30-day residency, where you can invite friends and family to celebrate your accomplishment

OUR COMMITMENT TO THE COMMUNITY:

The (AIR) program is designed to highlight the exceptional talent of our local artists and reinforce our commitment to fostering a thriving creative scene in Tampa. By offering free studio time and resources, we aim to remove barriers for emerging artists and provide them with a platform to share their work with a wider audience.
