At Suncadia, art isn’t just displayed—it’s lived. Our Artist-in-Residence Program is an ongoing celebration of creativity, designed to bring fresh perspectives and vibrant energy to the heart of the Cascades. Each month, a new artist transforms Artist Passage, our signature gallery space, into a curated showcase that reflects both their unique vision and the natural beauty surrounding our resort.
Artist-in-Residence: Meet the Artist
To mark each new installation, we invite you to an intimate Meet the Artist Reception—a warm, welcoming evening where art and conversation flow as freely as the wine. Guests will:
Discover the Story Behind the Art: Hear firsthand what inspires the artist and how the landscape influences their work.
Preview the Latest Collection: Be among the first to experience the new display in Artist Passage, a space dedicated to creativity and connection.
Enjoy a Relaxed Social Setting: Savor light bites and refreshments while mingling with fellow art enthusiasts and community members.
Join Us: Whether you’re a seasoned collector or simply curious, these monthly receptions offer a rare opportunity to engage with art in an approachable, inspiring way. Come for the conversation, stay for the creativity—and leave with a deeper sense of what makes Suncadia truly special.
