Alaska AIR Bunnell Street Arts Center Artist in Residence, 2027-2028 Seasons

Bunnell Street Arts Center, a longstanding anchor of the arts in Homer, Alaska, offers its Artist in Residence program as a generative retreat for creative practitioners. The residency spans the 2027–2028 seasons, providing selected artists with dedicated time and space in a region defined by its dramatic coastal landscape and distinct seasonal rhythms. While the program is hosted by an arts center with a deep commitment to community engagement, the residency prioritizes the development of new work within a supportive, non-urban environment. The call is open to artists working in any discipline, including visual arts, writing, performance, and film. Bunnell Street Arts Center has a history of hosting residents who engage with place, often producing work that reflects the social and environmental textures of Alaska. The residency does not prescribe a thematic focus, allowing artists to pursue their own projects without institutional pressure to conform to a predetermined narrative. This opportunity is best suited to practitioners who value isolation, seasonal extremity, and the generative potential of a distinct landscape. The center's curatorial vision emphasizes process over product, and community over spectacle, making it an ideal context for artists seeking uninterrupted time to develop new work.
