The Sitka Center rings with possibility now as . much as it did 40 years ago when it was founded. This is due, in part, to some of the founding principles that have endured over the decades and kept the organization simple: • • • Sitka Center for Art and Ecology • was founded on May 8, 1970 • as the Neskowin Coast Foundation • Place-based ~ Sitka’s spirit is captured by the location we occupy Inclusive ~ people with all levels of knowledge are welcome Connected ~ we work together with our community to brighten the world Long-term Focus ~ our plans incorporate 7th generation thinking Support Artists ~ we want artists to benefit from our programs, financially and intellectually Non-institutional ~ we give people permission to create without a prescribed structure At its core, Sitka strives to be a place that provides support for artists at all levels of experience and proficiency. Our attitude of acceptance and warm welcome extends across generations and experience levels. You can feel it when you walk on our campus. We are also a place where ideas expand. When you spend time at the Sitka Center, your ideas unfold through engagement with the place. An “improvisatory nature” is at the heart of Sitka, where creative acts take shape in nature, through human intention, and through the interplay of creative people and their surroundings. This year, as we celebrate our 40th birthday, we are reflecting upon the cumulative effort that has created this singular organization. At the same time, we are setting the groundwork for the important work that has yet to be done. The workshops we have prepared this year cross a range of disciplines, purposefully meant to inspire you with Sitka Center is offering more than possibility. Whether you have a burning vision that 103 workshops yearns for realization, a desire to hone your skills, or in 2010 simply think it would be fun to learn a new skill, we offer training, space, and a community of supporters for you. Show up as your authentic self, ready to learn, ready to participate, and ready to contribute all that you have to offer the world! –The Sitka Center Staff and Board COVER ART: “New Year’s Miracle at Cascade Head” by Frank Boyden. Limited 30 print edition. Prints for sale to raise money for Sitka’s endowment. Call to purchase. 2 When I was eleven years old, I was terrified by the imminent probability of nuclear war. I believed that my love of rivers and my ability as a fisherman was such that if only I could have a single day alone with the presidents of Russia (then the USSR) and America and take them fishing on a beautiful river, that surely we three could solve the problems and end the nightmare. They never gave me the chance, perhaps because I never asked them. When I was twenty-seven, Jane and I imagined Sitka. I felt an overwhelming need to live in a beautiful seminal place that would guide my life and my art. We realized that such a place might not be peopled with artists or biologists or musicians, the sort with whom we would like to surround our family and ourselves. My life was made up of how things meshed together. How dirt and water, animals and sounds, and light and color formed a Gordian knot. If Jane and I or a group of people in collaboration could interpret such a place, the effect could be altering. After forty years I still believe that, and I know there will be people who also believe that in another forty or eighty years. If the structures of thought and intent inherent at Sitka today have been kept vital over that forty or eighty years, then there will be a place for those who believe the basic premises of how the study of natural structures and art can modify and change the perceptions of the world. The idea behind Sitka is simple and basic. What we have had here from the beginning is a presence, an adjustable way of confronting ideas through time and space in a special land which instructs people to see with greater clarity and to give back their perceptions. The thousands of people who have chosen to participate in Sitka are proof that optimism is absolutely mandatory. No one has to ask. –Frank Boyden Board of Directors Jane Boyden Laura Doyle Sarah Greene Marlys Pierson Carol Riley Janine Stanton Pat Thompson Staff Eric Vines Jalene Case Ernie Rose Rebecca Welti Dawn Stetzel 56605 Sitka Dr. • P.O.

Our Story www.sitkacenter.org The Sitka Center is a creative community that cares about artists and cares about nature. Many people experience Sitka through our Workshop Program that brings talented instructors from around the world to teach people who want to enhance their ability for expression. Others experience Sitka through viewing and purchasing art at our annual Art Invitational, a chance to see more than 500 diverse creations from some of the Northwest’s top artists. A select group of artists, writers, and musicians get to experience Sitka as an Artist-in-Residence, spending as long as 4 months in deep interaction with our environment at Cascade Head. This year we are offering an extra event: a 40th year celebration. One of our favorite things about Sitka is that it attracts incredible people. We hope this celebration is the ultimate reflection of that attraction, bringing people from across the globe and from across Sitka’s history to celebrate art, nature, and the relationship we have with both. Place The Center is located just north of Lincoln City on the Oregon coast and sits within breathtaking view of the Pacific Ocean. It is surrounded by an array of protected lands, including a Nature Conservancy Preserve, the Cascade Head Experimental Forest, the Salmon River estuary, a United Nations Biosphere Reserve, and the only Scenic Research Area in the world.

Up to six residents at a time, usually from different disciplines and stages in their careers, live and work on campus for one to four months free of charge.

Two parking spaces are available onsite for disabled patrons. Material Lists Some instructors expect participants to bring materials with them. Material lists are posted at www.sitkacenter.org. We suggest you check the list before registering for a class. Upon registration, a material list will be sent to you. If you have questions about items on the list contact Sitka or your local art supplier. If you are required to bring art supplies, bring them in a carrying container. Clothing Wear comfortable clothing and shoes. There is a short walk, less than a city block, from the parking lot to the studios. A jacket/raincoat is nice to have if it’s chilly or raining. If your class is outdoors, dress in layers so you can warm up and cool down as needed. This is also helpful if you choose to indulge in a walk or hike in the area.
