Artists in Residence in Everglades (AIRIE) in partnership with the Everglades National Park, empowers artists to think creatively and critically about their relationship to the environment with a mission of revealing new paths forward.

Women’s Studio Workshop envisions a society where women’s visual art is integral to the cultural mainstream and permanently recorded in history. Our mission is to operate and maintain an artists’ workspace that encourages the voice and vision of individual women, trans, intersex, nonbinary and genderfluid artists. 

We provide professional opportunities for artists at various stages of their careers and promote programs designed to stimulate public involvement, awareness, and support.

The current residency program at Willapa Bay AiR will end on October 31, 2026. We will begin work on a major transition of the residency to one focused upon supporting composers and singer-songwriters, including providing sound studio and engineering facilities.  After 13 years of hosting over 500 writers, poets, scholars, composers and visual artists, we wistfully close one curtain but are jazzed about unveiling another. 

Participants in the program stay in one of three self-catering cabins located just a quarter-mile beyond the retreat entrance. One of the cabins is completely ADA compliant and another can house two residents working on a project together.  Using the space provided by the three cabins, Wildacres hosts approximately seventy artists each year for one-week residencies from April through October. Residencies begin on Monday afternoons and run until Sunday mornings.
