2010-2011 Sitka Residencies

The Residency Program has provided more than 170 artists, writers, and natural science scholars the opportunity to conduct their work in the unique environment of Cascade Head and Salmon River estuary.

Up to five residents at a time, usually from different disciplines and stages in their careers, live and work on campus for up to four-months free of charge. 8-week and 15-week periods are scheduled. All residents perform community outreach during their stay, offering free exhibits and lectures on campus, presentations to area schools or community groups, and/or conducting scholarly research for local educational institutions. The Sitka Center hosts approximately 12 residents each year. Some residents are emerging voices; others are mature professionals, internationally recognized in their disciplines. Residents come from across the U.S. and (to date) seventeen nations.
