Artist in Residence

This summer, we are excited to invite artists to share this majestic place to create with the mountain as a muse. Let the wonder of the blast zone inspire you, from the larger-than-life views into the crater to the focused beauty of life in an environment that is rebuilding itself from the rubble. This unpaid residency provides time and space for self-paced work and reflection in a stunning volcanic setting at the Science and Learning Center at Coldwater Lake. 

This program is for visual artists, writers, musicians, dancers, or other creatives who wish to inspire visitors, students, and teachers through their artistic expressions. We invite both emerging artists and practicing professionals to apply.

You can find details about the residencies, including dates, expectations, lodging information and application instructions, here.

We are offering multiple, short (4-7 days) residencies in 2025. Applications will be open from January 15- March 1, 2025.
