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, writers submitted 10 pages of poetry or prose, a curriculum vitae (or a brief bio), an artist statement, a personal statement, and contact information for one reference by August 23. Visit the website for an application form and complete guidelines.

Accessibility accommodations include three accessible studios. Contact the residency staff at info@vashonartistresidency.com for additional accessibility details.
