RAiR (Rotterdam Artists in Residence) was founded by the artist-initiatives Duende, Het Wilde Weten, Kaus Australis, Foundation B.a.d and Kunst & Complex. Every year more then 50 artists stay for a longer or shorter period in Rotterdam. They join the local art scene and with their presence enrich cultural life in the city. RAiR is an international platform and network that aims to optimize the residency policy of Rotterdam by making visible links between the artists in residence, the artists initiatives and the Rotterdam art and culture scene
