More Than a Place – A Unique Experience

A boutique artist residency nestled in the lush greenery of Deep River on the East Coast. AIR offers creators a haven for immersive creativity, combining well-equipped studios with distinctive accommodations. Our inspiring space, bordered by the river and just minutes from the wild beaches of the East, allows artists to develop their projects in an environment conducive to contemplation and inspiration. Our program hosts creators for productive stays, enriched by participatory workshops, exhibitions, and cultural events that celebrate the dialogue between contemporary art and local heritage.

A Sanctuary for Inspiration

For Artists and Creators

We host both local and international artists for creative residencies ranging from a few weeks to several months, offering personalized support in an inspiring environment. Our program extends to the public through hands-on workshops led by our resident artists, allowing participants to explore various artistic techniques.

Regular temporary exhibitions transform our spaces into dynamic galleries, showcasing works created on-site. Our cultural events—including openings, performances, and panel discussions—bridge contemporary creation with the region’s local identity, fostering meaningful exchanges between international creators, Mauritian artists, and the local community.

At Deep River, the Air Nests offer artists a secluded sanctuary for creativity, nestled in lush wilderness and mere moments from the untamed shores of Mauritius’ East Coast.
