ARTISTS ARE IN TENTS...

Please join us to learn more about our 2010 plans at Valentine's (232 SW Ankeny, Portland) on Monday, February 15th at 8pm. Oregon Book Award-winning writer Jonathan Raymond will join us for a reading before we give a short presentation of plans for workshops, retreats and another summer residency in Mt. Hood National Forest. We will also screen short films by Julie Perini and be serenaded by the music of Mbilly, Tara Jane Oneil & Marisa Anderson.

This coming year will include in-town events with Signal Fire friends, workshop participation in the Open Engagement Conference at Portland State University, retreats, a backpacking trip and the continuation of the Outpost Residency. This year's residents will be chosen through an application process by a jury of past participants. Eight proposals will be selected; individuals and groups are encouraged to apply. More information and applications for the residency will be available online on February 15, 2010.
