Mission

Vashon Artist Residency provides a diverse group of artists the time and space to create, the opportunity to engage with other residents and the experience of living and working amidst the ecology and community of Vashon Island.

Commitment to Equity

Equity, access, and inclusion are central to our mission. We strive to create a welcoming, respectful, and accessible space for all, regardless of age, ability, race, ethnicity, religion, beliefs, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, nationality, or socioeconomic status, and we are committed to continually advancing this work.

Land Acknowledgement

Vashon Artist Residency is located on the traditional, unceded land of the sx̌ʷəbabs (Swift Water People), a band of the Puyallup of the Coast Salish tribes. We honor their ongoing stewardship and are committed to amplifying Indigenous voices, histories, and experiences.
