Residency Fully Funded On :: View Artist Residency

Sulfur Studios Savannah, GA, United States

Fully Funded On View Artist Residency

Opportunity Description

International Deadline: December 1, 2023 –  Savannah, Georgia’s Sulfur Studios announces its ON::VIEW Artist Residency is now accepting applications. The Residency supports artists from across the globe, working in all media, with Studio, Housing and Exhibition opportunities provided.

Located in the heart of Savannah’s Starland District at Sulfur Studios, the ON::VIEW Artist Residency provides a free, high visibility studio space for an artist to complete a focused project. 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.

RESIDENCY 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.

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.

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, music and more, in support of Residents’ research and to provide additional avenues of community support during the Residency period.

  • All ON::View Residents will do an Instagram Takeover for the duration of their Residency, sharing their process via @onviewresidency
