Accommodations

Vashon Artist Residency welcomes up to four artists for each residency session. Accommodations include a private bedroom, a private or shared bathroom, a communal kitchen for meals and indoor and outdoor areas for dining and relaxing. Each resident will have 24 hour access to a private studio or writer’s desk with WiFi.

Residents are responsible for the cost of their own travel, supplies and food. 

For the comfort and sense of safety for all of our residents, we do not allow any overnight guests, partners, children or pets of residents. If residents would like to meet with a friend or family member at the Residency, we ask that they seek permission from the Executive Director and cohort at least 24 hours in advance.

For artistic partners and collaborator exceptions see FAQ.

Guest Policy

Vashon Artist Residency seeks to support artists of diverse abilities, both visible and invisible. Prior to applying, artists that have specific questions or concerns about accessibility or how to manage movement, medication, or any other physical or emotional concerns, should contact us so that staff may determine if we are able to accommodate your needs. Staff will keep personal matters confidential except in an emergency situation.

Three studio spaces at Vashon Artist Residency are ADA accessible, however, our housing and sound studio are not. The Residency is situated on a slope that impacts accessibility at our facility. Parking and studios are accessed from a gravel driveway. Housing is down a concrete pathway and three sets of stairs from the parking area. Each bedroom must be accessed by stairs. The sound studio is located up the gravel driveway from the parking area and has a small path and three stairs at the entry.
