Sitka's Workshop Program, May–September, provides people of all levels the transformative and joyful experience of making art and exploring their connections to nature. We offer over 100 one- to four-day workshops. Professional artists and ecology experts guide the instruction in one of the Center's studios or outdoors in the natural environment of Cascade Head and Salmon River estuary.
Sitka's Residency Program, October–May, provides artists, writers, musicians, architects and natural science scholars the opportunity to conduct their work while deeply engaging with the environment of Cascade Head. Up to seven residents at a time (up to 50 per year), from different disciplines and stages in their careers, live and work on campus for up to three months, free of charge.
Sitka’s Youth Art Programs provide in-school hands-on monthly Art Education programs for approximately 1800 students and continues to grow. Currently, no other visual art programs exist at these schools. The programs provide students with a hands-on, supportive opportunity to learn about artists and historical art movements, and to experiment with a variety of art techniques and media.
The Sitka Art Invitational is a juried art exhibition and sale held in Portland, Oregon. The event brings together work by over 100 nature-inspired regional artists. Art sales are split 50/50 between the artist and the Sitka Center. More than 2,000 local art collectors and enthusiasts attend the show each year.
