Vashon Artist Residency

Vashon Artist Residency offers two- and four-week residencies from January to November to poets, fiction writers, creative nonfiction writers, and translators on half an acre of waterfront property on Vashon Island, a 20-minute ferry ride from Seattle. Residents are provided with a private room, studio, and bathroom, and a shared kitchen and living space. 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 $2,175 for four weeks and $1,275 for two weeks. To apply, submit 10 pages of poetry or prose, a curriculum vitae or a 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 19. Stipends that cover the full cost of the residency are available based on financial need; no separate application materials are required.
