"Through the programme, around 14 artists per year live and work in the Everglades National Park for one month each. Founded in 2001 by the artist Donna Marxer in partnership with the Everglades National Park ranger Alan Scott, Airie began with a simple but radical idea: that artists, given time and solitude in the wild, could help the public see the environment anew."
"Each year, Airie invites artists, writers, musicians, choreographers and thinkers to the residency. Fellows live and work in the park's historic cabin-originally a 1950s staff apartment-immersing themselves in the sights, sounds and solitude of this unique subtropical wilderness.

"Over more than 20 years, Airie has hosted around 200 artists, and the resulting work has travelled far beyond South Florida. While Airie has a small exhibition space (the Airie Nest Gallery) at the Coe Visitors Center located at the entrance of the park, Airie exhibitions have made their way to the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum in New York and the Venice Biennale, among other distant venues."
Airie (Artists in Residence in Everglades) brings approximately 14 artists annually into Everglades National Park for month-long residencies. Fellows live in a historic park cabin and immerse themselves in the Everglades' subtropical sights, sounds and solitude. The programme was founded in 2001 by Donna Marxer and Everglades ranger Alan Scott to give artists time and space to reconsider the environment. Over two decades, Airie has hosted around 200 artists whose work has been exhibited locally and at distant venues such as Cooper Hewitt and the Venice Biennale. The residency fosters experimental projects, including site-based listening stations that contrast nature and the built environment.
