Caldera has selected its 2015 Artists in Residence (AiR) program. Due to a 56 percent increase in the number of applications this year, the 2015 selection was highly competitive. 2015 two cabins have been added to Caldera’s AiR program. This allows for an increase from 15 artists in 2014 to 21 in 2015, who have been granted one-month stays at Caldera’s beautiful Arts Center near Sisters, Oregon.
