7th Annual Seattle School Artist Residency

“Becoming Whole”

from the evening of April 23, to the morning of April 29, 2015

| at 2501 Elliott Ave |

For seven days each academic school year, 10-15 artists from The Seattle School have 24-hour access to the first two floors of the building to create, explore, dialog, and collaborate with one another in their artistic endeavors. The rhythm of each day is up to the artists to structure for themselves. Every evening, artists come together around the table for dinner and fellowship with one another and the evening's host, providing a rich time for conversation and rest during the creative process. Following the residency, artists display their work in the 2nd floor gallery and have the opportunity to share their process with the community through a gallery show during Summer Term

The Artist Residency is open to students, spouses/partners, and alumni of The Seattle School.

The meals for the Artist Residency are provided by members of The Seattle School community.
