At Home Artist in Residence (AHAIR) program
Umbrella was thrilled to announce three successful applicants for the COVID-responsive At Home Artist In Residence (AHAIR) program.
AHAIR was a pivot in response to COVID-19 and Umbrella's usual AIR program. The program provided opportunities for North Queensland visual artists who had lost income and opportunities as a result of the coronavirus. The 3 North Queensland artists achieved their residencies based on need and the quality of their applications. They created new work from their home studios for two weeks in June 2020.

The AHAIR program was presented in partnership with the Regional Art Services Network (RASN), North QLD.
