The Alembic Resident Artist Program at PWNW offers three types of residencies:
CORE RESIDENCY:
3 local artists are awarded 80-100 hours of studio time to be used within a 10-month period. Opportunities for sharing work are included, as well as an opportunity to be part of our Alembic Co-Production Series the following year.

VISITING ARTIST RESIDENCY:
By invitation only. One-two artists a year are invited to PWNW to live and work for an extended period. Travel expenses and per diem may be provided depending on funding. We also offer a chance to interact with Portland artists/audiences and to share work. Artists live in our vintage Silver Streak trailer onsite. Past artists include Blake Beckham, Meg Wolfe, Danza La Barbacoa and Clare Whistler.
RESIDENCY LITE:
This opportunity was conceived for out-of-town artists, but is certainly available to locals too. Artists book the studio for 9 hours minimum over 3 days at $8 an hour; or 15 hours minimum a week at $7/hr. and get free housing in our Silver Streak Trailer on site! Artists can also offer a free workshop to our community in exchange for the studio time as ilvs strauss did in 2015. For more info email info at pwnw dash pdx dot org
