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, 2024.
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.
The Residency Studio has open air flow into the lobby and gallery area which makes the following restrictions necessary:
- No aerosol or other toxic/high-voc materials are allowed in the space.
- No ongoing or repetitive loud noises, such as grinding. Occasional use of hand and power tools IS allowed.
- The Residency Studio is climate controlled, but due to its proximity to the doors and the large windows it can be warmer/cooler than the rest of the space depending on outside temperature.
- Limited furnishings in the Residency Studio are available. Accepted applicants must provide their own materials and supplies.
- Sulfur Studios does not insure the property of the Resident artist.
- Current Studio members or artists who have rented a studio at Sulfur Studios in the last 6 months are not eligible for this Residency.
- Collaborative teams are eligible for the Residency. One proposal should be submitted for the entire team. The 5th Dimension Apartment can house 2 artists comfortably, if teams of more than 2 artists would like to submit, making additional housing arrangements is encouraged.
- Artists may seek additional support or funding from other organizations to cover project costs if they wish. Sulfur Studios will be happy to provide a letter of support to accepted Residents seeking grants or other funding sources.
