Dates: Deadline for application, January 31, 2021. Residency dates, May 21-23, 2021 from Friday 10:00am-Sunday at 4:00pm
As part of its 20th anniversary celebration, the Icicle Fund is hosting two Artist-In-Residence events to celebrate the Conservation, History and Arts (CHA) of North Central Washington at the Methow River (October 2-4, 2020) and the Wenatchee River (May 21-23, 2021). The goal of the residencies is to honor, celebrate and record the unique environmental aspects of each location, inspired by revisiting past work created by poet William Stafford in the Methow (1993) or Watershed Artists in the Wenatchee (2001).
Up to 10 North Central Washington artists across disciplines will be selected, and will visit up to ten selected locations in the Wenatchee Watershed during the weekend. They will document their surroundings through visual arts, writings, music, and other creative mediums, with the opportunity to draw from changed conditions of the environment as illustrated by the 2001 Watershed Artists. After the residency, a traveling exhibit will be scheduled to showcase the work produced by participating artists. All COVID safety protocols will be observed.

Application Open now through January 31, 2021
Selected Artists announced February 22

After the residency, a travelling exhibit will be scheduled to showcase the work produced by participating artists. By developing a narrative and displaying the artwork created during the 2020/21 projects, perhaps in conjunction with artwork produced during the 1993 and 2001 events, the Icicle Fund will tell the story of its three priority areas: Conservation, History and Art (CHA) of North Central Washington.
