Time and space for self-driven work surrounded by the inspiring Cascade Head coastal landscape and ecosystem

A supportive community of fellow residents from diverse backgrounds and practices

Kayak and canoe access

Opportunities to share your work with the community

Some residencies come with a $500 per week stipend

Sitka Center is located on the Oregon coast and adjacent to the Cascade Head Scenic Research Area, Cascade Head Experimental Forest, the Cascade Head UNESCO Biosphere and Marine Reserves and the Salmon River Estuary. Sitka acknowledges and thanks the First Peoples of this land who today are represented by the Confederated Tribes of the Siletz Indians and the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde. 

Sitka is committed to equity and welcomes people from diverse cultures, backgrounds and experiences. Bringing together people from different backgrounds and fields of expertise is core to Sitka's art and ecology mission. From climate change and environmental justice to systemic racism and cultural appropriation, diverse perspectives help spark new ideas and collaborative approaches to address today's challenges in creative ways.
