Sealaska Heritage Institute is accepting applications for its new artist-in-residence program at the Walter Soboleff Building.
The purpose of the program is to encourage study of Northwest Coast art practices. Artists in residence may choose from two dedicated spaces on the main floor: the Delores Churchill Artist-In-Residence Studio and the monumental art space, a dedicated area for artists creating large-size Northwest Coast art pieces.
The program provides artists with the dedicated work areas and access to the institute’s archives, library and ethnographic and art collections for study. Artists must apply for the residency and commit to a minimum of two weeks. To apply, go to www.sealaskaheritage.org or contact SHI’s art department at (907) 463-4844.
