In addition to our five residents, FIAR is host to many exciting visitors. Leading figures in contemporary art serve as mentors, providing residents with one-on-one studio visits and support. These visiting artists also share their experiences with the community through public lectures and discussions at the Cherry Grove Fire Department. In this way, FIAR hopes to bring both new creative perspectives and prestigious art professionals together in this extraordinary location to foster the creation — and preservation — of queer art-making in contemporary art.
2012 Visiting Artist Lectures
This year, FIAR will host several leading figures in contemporary art and curation. Please join us for our public events! All events are 8pm at the Cherry Grove Fire Department.
