2027 residency
Vashon Artist Residency supports artists by offering time, space, and resources to reflect, create and connect.
RESIDENCY COHORTS: Each cohort will include up to seven artists.
EXPECTATIONS: We do not place productivity or public presentation requirements on residents. Artists are free to experiment, research, create new work and rest as they wish. Any work artists make at Vashon Artist Residency will be theirs.
SESSION LENGTH: All 2027 sessions are four weeks, except Sessions 1, 3, and 9, which are two weeks and marked with an asterisk (*).
2027 SESSION CALENDAR: When you apply, you will indicate which residency sessions you are available to attend.
Availability is not considered during the evaluation of applications. After artists are selected, staff use availability information to help determine the best cohort placement. If offered a residency, artists must be able to commit to the arrival and departure dates of their agreed-upon session.
