Application Process

Willapa Bay AiR uses the SlideRoom online application system, and there is a $30 application fee. We do not accept applications submitted by any other means. Applicants must be over the age of 21. Willapa Bay AiR welcomes residents from across the globe.

Members of collaboration teams who wish to be in residence together must submit individual applications. If only one member of a collaboration team is accepted, that member may opt to attend as an individual.

Selection Process

Applications are evaluated by selection committees comprised of working artists and professionals in the applicants' respective fields of discipline. Invitation to a Willapa Bay AiR residency is based on the merit of past work and the potential for creative evolution through the exploration and experimentation offered in the residency environment.
