CREEKSIDE ARTS is an Artist-in-Residence Program that is a unique opportunity to reflect, create, and explore in an inspiring setting among the Redwoods of Northern California. Preference will be given to applications that demonstrate a project focus on what is dear to our community: Land, place, community, nature, climate, education, and social and political consciousness.

We provide an inspiring natural setting among the coastal redwoods of Northern California for individuals as well as collaborative artistic work and expression. We welcome artists from a broad range of creative disciplines. We provide a unique opportunity to reflect, create and explore away from the hectic demands and constraints of daily life.

Our location in the heart of the redwoods and home of the Wiyot people provides a natural setting that guides our commitment to a healthy and sustainable environment. Our program facilitates an exchange of creative thought and expression between participants, the neighborhood, and the larger Northern California community with a focus on new work with a social and political consciousness. 

Our one week Fall Writers residency provides each artist with fully equipped private living quarters and individual separate work/studio spaces. In addition to providing a space for solitary work, our program supports and encourages a collaborative atmosphere. Evening gatherings provide an opportunity to get to know the other resident artists as well as the permanent members of the Creekside Arts community.

Films, discussions, and exchanges with local Northern California writers are a part of these gatherings. Our residencies conclude with a creative interaction with the larger Humboldt County community. 

Imagine spending a week nestled along the breathtaking Northern California Pacific Coast, surrounded by the majestic Redwood Forest and Wiyot land. At Creekside Arts, we believe in the power of the written and spoken word—storytelling. That’s why we’re excited to announce our Fall Writers Residency Program. We invite writers and storytellers to spend a week with us at Creekside Arts. 

If you’re a writer or storyteller of any persuasion, this is the perfect opportunity for you to share your tale, whether it’s a fable, poem, fantasy, or autobiography. We’re looking for artists whose work aims to captivate and transport audiences through the power of their narratives.

During your stay, you will be supported by an environment that’s both nurturing and inspiring. Our symbiotic collaborative energy will encourage you to create, imagine, and practice your skills, surrounded by the stunning natural beauty of our surroundings. Join us for an unforgettable experience where you’ll have the freedom to write, explore, collaborate, and perform and bring your writing and storytelling to new heights.

An art residency provides the technical conditions, time, and space to develop ideas and try new approaches. It is a moment that promotes connection between artists from different backgrounds and consequently the exchange of knowledge and experiences.

Aviário Studio Ceramics Residency aims to promote the exploration and production in the Ceramics field. The program is customized according to the participating artist’s goals regarding duration, outcome and focus.  We offer the conditions to test possibilities and materialize ideas. On one hand, it can be a moment of transition, more connected to experimentation, research and learning new techniques; on the other hand, it can be the point of consolidation of a project translated into the production of a new body of work.

Specific Equipments Available:

• Electric Kiln (1260º) 220L

ARTS Southeast is excited to invite you to apply to the ON::View Artist Residency! Located in the heart of Savannah’s Starland District, 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. ARTS Southeast 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.

Just five blocks east of the Residency Studio, the 5th Dimension Apartment features a full kitchen, bath and main room to comfortably house the Artist (+1 guest if requested) for month-long Residency stays. The 5th Dimension Apartment has a private gated entrance and private garden with plenty of space to create, lounge and entertain.
