Ignited by Vashon : Art by Vashon Artist Residency Alumni
An art exhibition of creative visions shaped by land, seaviews, and community of Vashon Island
VCA partnered with VAR for this milestone event brings together two organizations committed to supporting creativity and community.
The exhibition features 31 alumni artists presenting more than 40 works in a wide range of media — photography, fiber sculpture, quilting, painting, mixed media, and watercolor. Some pieces draw directly from the island’s landscapes, colors, and textures. Others capture the solitude, focus, and camaraderie that residency life can bring.
For Vashon residents, the show offers a chance to see their home through the fresh perspective of visiting artists. For visitors, it’s an opportunity to experience how this small island can have an outsized impact on creativity.
In May 2021, Cathy Sarkowsky founded Vashon Artist Residency (VARP as a place where artists could focus on their work, find inspiration, and connect with others in the serene setting of Vashon Island.
In just four years, VAR has grown into a respected program that attracts artists from across the U.S. and abroad. This September, that journey comes full circle as VCA hosts "Ignited by Vashon", the first-ever alumni exhibition for the residency.
