Submit your artistic project to AIR

AIR hosts artists in residence at Deep River, in a former orchard on the East Coast of Mauritius.

The gallery and the garden have welcomed visitors since 31 October 2026; the first Nests, designed by architect Divyaa Hauzaree, will be installed in early 2027.

Describe your project and the period you have in mind. Erwin Angeline, who runs the residencies, reads the applications.
