on::view artist residency program
Located in the heart of Savannah’s Starland District at ARTS Southeast’s flagship project, Sulfur Studios, the ON::VIEW Artist Residency provides a free, high visibility studio space for an artist to complete a new project, to continue an in-progress endeavor, or to conduct research exploring conceptual, material, performative, and social practices. The studio’s large windows look out onto Bull Street, the district’s main thoroughfare, allowing the artists’ work to be on view to the community at all times. Sulfur Studios’ visitors and passersby on the sidewalk 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.
Nitty Gritty Details:
Located just off the lobby in Sulfur Studios, the Residency Studio is 12 x 12 feet with large street level, east facing windows, which allow the community to view the Residents’ work 24/7. Artists may work in any medium suitable for the space.
Artists will have multiple opportunities to meet and connect with the local art community, and our ON::Call for ON::View list of Savannah experts provides unique one-on-one access to some of the city’s most knowledgeable and esteemed citizens specializing in Savannah history, art, activism, native flora and fauna, music, science and more, in support of Residents’ research and to provide additional avenues of community support during their residency period.
All ON::View Residents will do an Instagram Takeover for the duration of their Residency, sharing their process via @onviewresidency
All ON::View Residents will have the opportunity to participate in an annual group exhibition featuring all of the Residents of the last year. The exhibition will take place in January, 2025.
The ON::View Studio provides 24 hour access to Residents. Additionally, Residents must commit to working in the studio during our public open hours (TH - SUN, noon to 5PM) a minimum of one day per week.
- Dates of Residency periods are firm. There are no exceptions for early move ins, late move outs, etc. as the spaces must be prepared for the next incoming Resident. Residents must be present during the First Friday Program Finale (see specific dates below).
- Residents are encouraged to engage the community by giving a public lecture or workshop, or other interactive event during their stay.
- Artists coming from out of town must cover their own travel costs. We offer lodging for accepted Residents at the 5th Dimension Apartment, located 5 blocks east of Sulfur Studios.
