At East Village Arts, being an artist resident means more than renting studio space — it’s joining a living, breathing creative community. Our resident artists are the heart of EVA, shaping its daily rhythm with their work, ideas, and collaboration.

EVA provides affordable studios designed to nurture creativity and connection. Artists work side-by-side in a supportive environment where painters, sculptors, writers, and musicians inspire one another and often collaborate across disciplines. Each studio is a place for personal focus and growth, but also part of something larger — a shared commitment to creativity as a force for community renewal.

Resident Artists provide a steady presence through their ongoing work, mentorship, and engagement with the public. Whether through open studios, workshops, performances, or exhibitions, our resident artists help make EVA a vibrant hub where art is made, shared, and celebrated.

At its core, an EVA residency is about belonging — to a place, a purpose, and a community that believes art can change lives and strengthen neighborhoods.
