Call for Artists: Shoreline Art Cottage Residencies 2021

Up to four artist residencies are available at the Shoreline Art Cottage Space located on a bluff overlooking the Salish Sea at Saltwater Park in Shoreline.

For its second season in 2021, the city’s Public Art Program will fund four consecutive arts residencies at the Art Cottage, each with a $1800 honorarium, for periods of about two-moths beginning in May and ending in December. Open to emerging as well as established artists working in a wide variety of media, the Art Cottage Residencies offer artists space and time to experiment and explore the site and its history, its spectacular landscape, and the creative process. Two of the summer residencies may include working with the City’s Teen Program which will be sharing the space during that time. There may be opportunities to work with other city or community-based groups during the other sessions.
