Alembic Resident Artists Program

The Alembic Resident Artist Program at PWNW offers a variety of residencies.

CORE RESIDENCY

2-4 local artists are awarded 100-150 hours of studio time to be used within a 9-11 month period, plus an artist fee, and a production of the results of their studio research and rehearsal on a shared program at the conclusion their residency. They are offered, as well, as an opportunity for an Alembic Co-Production within the the following two years.. See list below of our Alembic Alums.

The selection process for 2026 is complete. Applications for the 2027 residency will be available in the fall of 2026.

PARENT RESIDENCIES

Local and/or visiting artists whose work engages a strong movement, body or dance-based component receive studio time, a stipend, and, for the visiting artist, housing in PDX. This is a research-exploration based residency and is not expected to result in a finished work, though artists have the opportunity for an informal sharing.

2022: Corrie Befort & Jason Anderson (Pullman, WA) spent two weeks in our studio, collaborating with local artists.
2023-2024: Visiting parent artist was Kaitlin McCarthy (Seattle), and our inaugural local parent artist was Latoya Lovely. Read about them HERE.
2024-2025: Visiting parent arts was Heather Kravas (Seattle) and local parent artist was Muffie Delgado Connelly (PDX). Read about them HERE:
2025-2026: Local parent artists Lilia Hernandez Galusha and Sara McIntyre.

Check back in late 2025 or early 2026 for the next call.
