AIR_Frankfurt?

The AIR_Frankfurt program was founded by the City of Frankfurt’s Department for Culture in 1990 with the goal to foster the exchange between culturally interested and active cities. Since then more than 100 visual artists from Frankfurt were able to profit from the exchange program, with an equal number of artists from abroad coming to Frankfurt as part of the residency program.
Since 2016 AIR_Frankfurt has been supervised by the production and exhibition platform basis e.V., while continuing to be supported by the City of Frankfurt’s Department for Culture.
