Sanctuary: SVA鈥檚 Artist Residency Alumni Exhibition
SVA presents 鈥淪anctuary,鈥� a group exhibition featuring artwork from seven alumni of SVA Artist Residency programs. The exhibition will be on view from Wednesday, May 28, through Saturday, June 7, at SVA Flatiron Gallery,133/141 West 21st Street, New York City.
鈥淪anctuary鈥� is a group exhibition featuring the work of seven alumni from the School of Visual Arts Artist Residency Programs. Showcasing a range of disciplines鈥攊ncluding painting, sculpture, photography, installation, and interdisciplinary media鈥攖he exhibition reflects not only on sanctuary as a subject in the world but also on the residency itself as a sanctuary: a temporary, intentional space for creative risk, reflection, and renewal.
From sacred structures and ecological refuge, to the body as a vessel of protection, and the studio as a site of healing, 鈥淪anctuary鈥� explores how artists imagine, construct, and inhabit spaces of safety, contemplation, resistance, and transformation. The works trace sanctuary across cultural, psychological, and political terrain鈥攕paces that are at once internal and external, historical and contemporary, deeply personal and urgently collective.
Beyond the physical or symbolic spaces depicted in their work, 鈥淪anctuary鈥� foregrounds the creative process itself as a sanctuary鈥攁 site of survival, restoration, and resistance. For these artists, making art is more than an act of expression: it is a means of forging connection, reclaiming space, and cultivating care in a world often marked by instability.
