SVA's Summer Residency Program welcomes artists, designers and creative thinkers from across the globe to join an ever-growing community reaching far beyond the contours of New York City. We are proud of our diversity and aim to foster an environment of support and solidarity. Our new Fertile Ground Series highlights alumni, faculty and friends of the Summer Residency Program on their home turf, a fertile ground for creativity and community.
