In parallel, it seeks to promote Polish artists internationally by facilitating their participation in creative residencies hosted by the laboratory’s partner programs throughout the world. At present the a-i-r laboratory can host up to seven artists at one time in
studios placed in the CCA and the adjacent Laboratory building opened in 2010.<br>Resident artists receive an opportunity to present their projects to a public at the CCA as lectures, projections, public discussions, exhibitions and performances. The laboratory also strives to encourage visiting artists to realise their work in the public spaces of Warsaw or in one of the laboratory’s numerous independent partner galleries.<br>These particular residencies are organized in collaboration with City of Warsaw, in frames of European Culture Capital 2016 competition.</p><p><br>More: <a href="http://www.csw.art.pl/air" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102); text-decoration: underline; ">www.csw.art.pl/air</a><br></p></span></div><div style="position:fixed"></div>
