Surrounding the tiled well are pairs of shoes with a glass of water next to each of them. Over the image, there is white text that reads: “BASE RESIDENCY/Photo of Annabel Turrado by Jim Coleman”.]
The Base Residency Program
The Base Residency program is an artist-curated program that offers resident artists two weeks of 24/7 access to Base for development, self-challenge and experimentation. The 2023-2024 program supports three Washington state-based artists/collectives and two artists located outside of Washington with a suite of resources, including unrestricted space; technical, marketing and administrative support; and a financial stipend. Each residency wraps with an Entry Point, a free public event that invites the community into Base to witness and connect with the resident artists.
