We are proud to announce the opening of
> AIR-
Kewaunee! After a few years of planning and building a
> concept we have arrived with a live-in residency program for
> artists of all types and those interested in art. We are
> located north of
Chicago in a quiet beach town called
> Kewaunee. The summer session will last through the end of
> October 2009 and we are accepting applications now. We can
> only accommodate 30 artists at one time so if you have
> interest in July, August, Sept or October please let us
> know asap so we can make a reservation. We have partnered
> with some great
art galleries in Chicago and
New Orleans so
> that we can offer shows to the artists
in residence as well
> as selling their artwork. Our summer directors are a
> father-son team of R.R. Lyon and T.D. Lyon. R.R. is an
> internationally know
visual artist and was the founder of
> AIR-New Orleans. He has been invited to attend residencies
> in Italy,
France and the
USA. He was recently juried into
> the Bienalle in Italy and his art can be found in
> collections around the world. T.D. is a well known
curator> and gallery director with particular expertise in managing
> the careers of artists.
> We have developed a program that includes housing,
> studio space and meals so the artist can retreat, relax and
> create! We also will be renting studio space and renting
> gallery space for independent shows. Studios are housed in
> 25,000 square feet of refurbished and well lighted warehouse
> space right on the beaches of beautiful
Lake Michigan!
> Housing is in our quaint hotel/b&b. Please join us for
> a week or all summer!
