A plural word does not need an apostrophe. However, if a plural word has ownership over something or is related to them, you would use an apostrophe.

So, first, correct your sentence to: The two artists live here. (plural)


For possessive plural: The two artists' families were visiting.

Does the phrase Here's to Harry have an apostrophe?

The phrase "Here's to Harry" does require an apostrophe in "here's." This is because "here's" is a contraction of two different words, here and is, where the apostrophe takes the place of the missing space and the missing i from is. The "here" that "is" (being offered) to Harry in this phrase is not explicitly stated but is understood by the context to be, for example, an honoring by a "toast." Without the apostrophe, we would have heres, which is not the word meant in this phrase. (Heres is actually a legal term meaning "an heir.")
