Artists residing in Jefferson County, WA, can now be considered for Centrum’s Local Artist Studio Space Residency program. This is a workspace residency only and does not include lodging.
At times, Centrum has available studio space due to cancellations or other factors. They are thrilled to be able to offer this opportunity to local artists in need of workspace.
Interested parties may apply through Centrum’s Submittable application portal to be included in a registry for those interested in studio space as it becomes available. The application serves as a way for Centrum to gather contact information for those looking solely for short-term studio space access. It is not a juried program.
Depending on availability, on a monthly or quarterly basis Centrum staff will email about available studio spaces, along with dates and space specifications. Those interested are asked to email back indicating they would like to use the studio(s). If there is more interest than availability, names will be chosen at random.
One of the benefits of participating in the Local Artist Studio Space Residency program is that every Tuesday morning residents meet at the Centrum Residency Lounge to talk about their work, learn about Centrum, Fort Worden, and Port Townsend, and most importantly, connect with each other. It’s a wonderful opportunity to meet visiting artists in residency coming from afar, and truly embodies Centrum’s key ethos of creativity in community.
Local artists cannot do more than one residency per year, and the studio fees range from $75 – $100/week with limited scholarships available.
