NOW ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR JULY - NOVEMBER, 2022
The ON::VIEW Artist Residency is located in Savannah’s Arts District at Sulfur Studios. It is 30 minutes from the beach. The residency provides a free apartment and studio space for an artist to complete a focused project. The studio’s big windows look out onto Bull Street, which is the district’s main thoroughfare. The artists’ work is on view to the community at all times. Sulfur Studios’ visitors and passersby witness the artists’ process as it unfolds in real time, seeing all the steps involved from concept to final execution. Community events like workshops, performances, public art projects and artist talks, offer creative ways to interact with the public. The ON::View Residency supports artists from across the globe, working in all media.

The 5th Dimension Apartment has a private gated entrance and private garden with plenty of space to create, lounge and entertain.

About Savannah:
Located on the Savannah River with a 20 minute drive to Tybee Island on the Atlantic coast, Savannah is a temperate, walkable city with unique Southern architecture and over 20 parks throughout its Historic District. Savannah is Georgia’s oldest city, and signs of its past are ever present, from the slave trade and the civil war to reconstruction and the civil rights movement. The last 20 years have seen Savannah explode with hotels, five star restaurants and the Savannah College of Art and Design. In the Starland District where Sulfur Studios is located, shops, murals, restaurants, breweries and art galleries give the neighborhood a unique vibe, and provides the perfect setting for an artist to explore, meet interesting people and create.
Successful applicants will propose a project that will engage the community over the course of the Residency period. While the standard Residency period is approximately one month in duration, artists may propose longer projects. If a longer period is proposed, artists must explain how they will use the additional time and must be available for a Zoom interview to discuss their proposal and provide a minimum of 2 references.
