ARTS Southeast is excited to announce the Spring/Summer Session ON::View Artists-in-Residence of 2026!

Located in the heart of Savannah’s Starland District at ARTS Southeast, 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, allowing the artists’ work to be on view to the community at all times. ARTS Southeast’s 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 and provides studio space, accommodations, and the opportunity to live, work and play alongside local artists in a vibrant community.
