At A.I.R. Studio

Day(s) 1-3

Paducah, Kentucky
Hello.  This is our third full day of our month long arts residency at A.I.R. Studio Paducah.  The residency is located in Paducah, Kentucky.  Paducah is a town of approximately 25,000 located in Western Kentucky.  While its initial appearance is typical of a small town, it is well worth exploring further into the downtown areas of the city if you are in the area.  Paducah is the site of a successful Artist Relocation Program, initiated in the year 2000.  You can read more about this program here and here.  Despite the difficulties that every town faced during the recent economic depression, this program remains a model for increasing economic growth in a city through the arts.  

That being said, Jesse and I are thoroughly happy that we have chosen to stay and work at A.I.R. Studio for a month.  It is allowing us to give our undivided attention to our work, as well as providing an opportunity to experience living and working in a unique and vibrant arts community.

A.I.R. Studio
This is a wonderful space.  If you have an opportunity to do a residency here, please do so.  It is spacious, clean, well-lit, and entirely pleasant to occupy.
