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 WA, just north of Seattle. For 2022, the City’s Public Art Program will fund four consecutive arts residencies, each with an $1800 honorarium, for periods of about two-moths beginning in April 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. There may also be opportunities to work with city or community-based groups (Richmond Beach Neighborhood Association; Community Garden Programs, etc.) during the residencies.

A final statement on the results of the residency is also required prior to final payment.
