The City of Pompano Beach Cultural Affairs Department is delighted to relaunch its Artists in Residence (AiR) program at the historic Bailey Contemporary Arts Center (BaCA). The AiR Program provides artists with studio space to create new work, collaborate with fellow resident artists, and engage with our community.

A distinguished panel of judges selected eight new artists to be part of our first “graduating class.” This dynamic and diverse group of artists will be in residence though June, and we will present each as an “Artist of the Month,” offering them with the opportunity to showcase their work and create unique programs to attract art lovers to BaCA. At the culmination of the residency, AiR artists will share their new artworks in an exciting group exhibition.

This season the program hosts the following artists:

Leonardo Montoya, Andy Ballentine, Gerard Pastor, Shanna Woods, Darcy Roberts

Manzi Liu, Gregory Dirr, Kim Ferguson
