This program supports artists across disciplines—including visual arts, music, writing, and performance—who reflect and uplift the cultural richness of East Point and the greater Atlanta area.
Resident Artists receive 24/7 access to private studio space in a dynamic, intergenerational arts center, along with opportunities for collaboration, mentorship, professional development, and public presentation. They are encouraged to explore the intersection of art, activism, and community wellness, with many incorporating themes of environmental justice, social equity, and healing into their creative work.
