Sustainable Practices, Online Residency Program

IOAEA is delighted to invite applications for our July-August 2025 Online Residency Program - a remarkable chance to connect with a global community of like-minded creatives and elevate your practice within the realms of ecological and sustainable art.

Our 2-month online residency fosters a collaborative, interconnected environment where international eco-artists can cultivate their sustainability-focused practices and expand their artistic perspectives through constructive feedback and mutual support. Open to creators of all nationalities and disciplines, this program brings artists together virtually to engage in discussion, work, collaborate, and find inspiration, transcending geographical boundaries.

Material Dialogues: An Interview Series

IOAEA is thrilled to announce a new interview series, "Material Dialogues," dedicated to showcasing the innovative work of artists at the forefront of bio art, material exploration, and sustainable practices.

About Material Dialogues

"MateriaDialogues" provides a platform for artists to share their unique perspectives on the evolving relationship between human-made materials and the natural world. We aim to explore how artists are engaging with materials, challenging traditional notions of materiality, and developing sustainable practices that minimize environmental impact. 

NOoSPHERE Arts Residency Award & Site Specific Art Installation

NOoSPHERE Arts’ Residency Award @ Kingsland Wildflowers is an annual open-call contest for unique, site-specific installations created by local artists for our green rooftops. Typically, the winning proposal is displayed on the Upper Meadow of the Kingsland Wildflowers rooftop community center throughout the outdoor season.
