Wa Na Wari Artist Residency – full description here<\/a><\/h4>\n

The Opportunity:<\/span><\/strong>
\nWa Na Wari<\/a> is dedicated to the cultivation and presentation of Black artistry locally. Wa Na Wari is offering three 1-month long residencies in the Wa Na Wari house where a visual artist can work and create new visual artwork. The new work will then be on view at Wa Na Wari for a 2-month period after the residency. Artists in residence will have as their studio a room that is up two flights of stairs and on the same floor as the bathroom.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Wa Na Wari is located in Seattle’s Central District, a historically redlined neighborhood that was the cultural and artistic hub for the Black community for many decades. The Wa Na Wari house is the second home purchased by Frank and Goldyne Green, and has been in the Green family for five generations.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Artists will be able to work and create in a home that has been a central part of Black community life in Seattle for over 50 years and is currently an incubator for Black thought and creativity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

About Wa Na Wari:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>
\nThe mission of Wa Na Wari is to create space for Black ownership, possibility, and belonging through art, historic preservation, and connection.<\/span><\/p>\n
