A residency at Pottery Northwest is an opportunity to grow as a ceramic artist, to engage in our thriving community and to provide a platform to develop your work and support your career. Applicants are chosen for the quality of their work, a perceived potential for growth, and the ability/willingness to actively contribute to the community within the studio. Residencies include awarded studio space for 6 months to 2 years, a yearly firing stipend, and exhibition opportunities.
Pottery Northwest values diversity not only in the artwork produced in our studios, but among the resident artists themselves. We recognize that through an inclusive environment we will create a vibrant cultural program. People from underrepresented communities in the field are strongly encouraged to apply.
