Vashon Artist Residency

The Vashon Artist Residency offers two- and four-week residencies from January to November to poets, fiction writers, creative nonfiction writers, and translators on Vashon Island, a 20-minute ferry ride from Seattle. Residents are provided with a private room, a bathroom, and a shared kitchen, as well as access to a shared studio. Residents are responsible for travel and meal costs. The cost of the residency is determined on a sliding scale based on financial need; the full price is $1,875 for four weeks and $1,125 for two weeks. To apply, submit 10 pages of poetry or prose, a curriculum vitae (or a brief résumé), a statement explaining how you would use the time offered by the residency, and contact information for one reference with a $25 application fee by August 20. Stipends that cover the full cost of the residency are available based on financial need; no separate application materials are required. Visit the website for an application form and complete guidelines.

Accessibility accommodations include public and private transportation near the venue, accessible studios, and accessible parking. Contact the executive director via phone or e-mail for additional accessibility details.
