Sapelo Artist in Residency Weekend

The Sapelo Island Artist Residency Weekend offers 3 nights and 4 days of immersive, creative time on one of Georgia’s most ecologically and culturally rich barrier islands.

February 20th-23rd, 2026   &   May 1st-4th, 2026

Artists of all disciplines are encouraged to apply — visual arts, writing, music, performance, photography, and beyond. This experience emphasizes solitude, reflection, and connection to nature.

Minimum age 21. You must pass a background check and have a valid driver’s license upon selection.

Rooms are based on two occupants. Artists are not required to stay overnight; ferry arrangements can be made each day, but it is recommended to get the full immersive experience. The first night’s dinner is provided, but artists are responsible for bringing all subsequent meals, snacks, and beverages.

Please see Request For Proposal for Complete Details. Email any questions to vog.ag.rnd@egdoD.ynattirB.

APPLICATION IS CLOSED. Please stop by the McIntosh Art Association during August to see some of the amazing artwork created during this program!
