The Shed

The Shed enables Vashon Artist Residency to host composers, musicians and sound artists, as well as other artists developing new work with sound including filmmakers, choreographers, theater artists, writers and interdisciplinary artists. This new space offers artists a private space for sound experimentation, which can lead to critical creative growth. 

The Shed is located in a stand-alone building that has been fully renovated for sound work. It is 170 square feet with walls, ceiling, and floor all made of high-quality soundproofing materials to prevent any external noise from disturbing artists' processes. The studio is also equipped with sound-absorbing materials to minimize any echo or reverberation. It has three impact-laminated windows and one door that offers natural light and a view of the Salish Sea. Cork flooring and heat keep the space cozy throughout the year.
