SITKA CENTER FOR ART AND ECOLOGY
Be inspired. Take a risk. Learn for life.
Enriching one’s life through inspiration, risk-taking and learning are often the values
of people attracted to Sitka. Students, residents and instructors seek the precious gift of
time to fully engage in creative inquiry. Once here, this place creates an interior spark,
awakening ideas and encouraging reflection.
In 2014, the most conspicuous change at Sitka was a new building. The old, worn out
Tree House, Bunk House and public restroom were replaced with a new, energy efficient
structure built to serve long into the future.
While most of the programs happen on Sitka’s campus, this year we’ve reached out
beyond our forest home. We’ve taken strides to connect the remarkable people who
come to Sitka as residents and instructors with the local community. Residents were
strongly encouraged to engage with local schools fulfilling their commitment of outreach,
workshop instructors exhibited work at the Lincoln City Cultural Center and seeds for
the Sitka Emerging Artist (SEA) project were sown. SEA, funded by Jordan Schnitzer,
focused on community art outreach to local high school students.
In July, the officers of the Board of Directors were elected and this year three long-time
board members reached the end of their terms. Jane Boyden, Marlys Pierson and Laura
Doyle stepped off the board but, thankfully, they will still be involved as volunteers. A
warm Sitka welcome was given to new board members, Barbara Triplett, Kristin Walrod
and Stan Peterson.
Thanks to people like you, Sitka is a healthy organization. In our fourth decade, we are
headed on a trajectory to strengthen our role as a leader in art and ecology as it connects
with our mission of expanding the relationship between art, nature and humanity.

Our Residency Program runs from October to May and provides artists, writers,
musicians and natural scientists with the opportunity to delve deep into their work
while being surrounded by the natural environs of Cascade Head. Each resident
is provided with comfortable living and work spaces, free of charge, for up to three
and a half months. We are able to support five residents at a time (about 20 per year).
Two special residencies take place in the fall and spring. In the fall, the Jordan Schnitzer
Printmaking Residency (JSPR) offers three professional artists, who are not printmakers,
with the opportunity to expand their repertoire by creating copper plate etchings under
the guidance of master printmaker Julia D’Amario. The Recorder Residency brings
a professional recorder player for six weeks in the spring. Sitka’s residents perform
community outreach during their stays through teaching workshops to area adults and
in coordination with local schools as well as providing lectures, demonstrations and
assistance to area non-profits and ecology agencies.

RESIDENCY OUTREACH HIGHLIGHTS
Will Bruno, along with his fiancee and fellow artist Amie LeGette, presented a comic
book workshop for students at Taft High School.
Randall David Tipton gave free, well-attended watercolor demonstrations at Artists’
Studio Association in Lincoln City and for the Visual Art Center in Newport.
Heidi Preuss Grew presented a workshop for students from St. James Santiago School
and Neskowin Valley School. Each school drew designs for a creature which she then
created in clay.
Sitka paid a total of $16,250 in stipends to residents through the Ford Family
Foundation’s Golden Spot program and funds provided through the Jordan Schnitzer
Printmaking Residency program.
IN THE RESIDENTS’ WORDS...
“The experience has nurtured my connection to myself. I was reminded of how much I
like the creative life when I am away from all the demands of everyday life and the tasks
related to being a professional artist (documentation, mailing lists, marketing, meetings,
budgets, framing, etc.). I drastically minimized my responsibilities here leaving most of
my time for walking, exploring, taking photos, making, visiting, and correspondence.
There were no social commitments, no doctors’ appointments, no one else’s needs. So I
could feel—once again—how fulfilling it is to just make.”—Alex Hirsch, visual artist
“I had many aha moments at Sitka as I read, walked, and spent time in nature… lots of
personal growth ultimately. The environs “cleared my head” and that just does not sum
up the experience well enough. I am not sure I have words for this new mental space and
the joy to have access to this space. I am so grateful to have it. It was at the end of the
residency that I could tell I was transformed. I know for a fact my time at Sitka was the
catalyst. I am so grateful to Sitka for this.” —Heidi Preuss Grew, visual artist

Our Workshop Program takes place between May and September and provides
individuals of all levels the opportunity to make art, write, play music and enjoy
their connections to nature. We offer more than 100 workshops in a variety of topics
including painting, drawing, printmaking, kayaking, fiber arts, photography, poetry,
metal work and wood carving. Our workshops are led by knowledgeable instructors
experienced in guiding students towards reaching their creative goals. Workshops take
place in one of our five studios or outdoors in the Cascade Head Scenic Research Area.
The annual workshop catalog is available in print or online each February.

FROM THE WORKSHOP PARTICIPANTS...
Sitka is a magical space where creativity is encouraged and art blossoms.
-Colleen Menze, Landscaping Painting with Chinese Brush Techniques
Having 5 full days to immerse into the art process and the environment here at Sitka was
amazingly important and allowed for a powerful experience.
-Anonymous Student, Botanical Explorations: Papermaking & The Artist’s Book
It’s just a beautiful setting for creating artwork and communing with nature. I was
so delighted to be able to paint with an instructor who loves nature and brings that
perspective into her work and to working with students.
-Nancy Hunt, Landscape Watercolor at Cascade Head
I learned so much, the instructors were so skilled and helpful and knowledgeable. I can’t
quite believe we got through so much work—that really requires skillful teaching. Plus it
was such a beautiful, perfect workspace.
-Joy Morgheim, Hand-Forging: Moving Metal Two Ways
. . . I felt safe, inspired and pushed out of my comfort zone, which is part of why I came.
The other part was learning how to create nature paintings by layering, glazing and using
a variety of techniques. I’m leaving with months of ideas and practices to explore.
-Lee Kamey Ogle, Watercolor Intensive: Materials, Methods & Magic
I enjoyed the time given to us where we were able to open up to nature and not have
to worry about anything. I had the ability to paint as we pleased without restraint.
-Katherine Sutton, High School Art Scholarship Student, Looking Deeper: Nature

ART INVITATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS
The 21st Annual Sitka Art Invitational, held in Portland at the World
Forestry Center on November 7-8, bustled with 2,000 art enthusiasts and 414 pieces
of artwork exhibited by 135 Northwest artists. The goals of this outreach event were
to spread the word about Sitka’s mission and build awareness of our Workshop and
Residency Programs. To better understand the impact of the event, 840 people were
surveyed as they entered the show. We asked them, “Are you familiar with Sitka’s
Workshop or Residency Program?” Surprisingly 30% of the people surveyed said no,
which emphasized the value of this event to connect with a new audience.
Three hundred people celebrated the show during the opening parties on Friday
night. On Saturday night, for the first time, Sitka partnered with the World Forestry
Center. This event helped share Sitka’s mission with a new audience. In all, 89 art
buyers purchased 136 pieces of artwork. Proceeds of sales were split 50/50 with the
artists in support of our Residency Program. As a result, $37,831 was paid in artist
commissions. Totaling all sales, sponsorship and in-kind donations, Sitka’s direct
income was $124,829. This event would not be possible without the enthusiastic
support of more than 150 volunteers, exhibit committee members, sponsors and the
entire board and staff. Volunteers contributed 1,500 collective hours of service during
the Art Invitational.
COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS
During the Sitka Residency Program more than 160 people attended the four free
Resident Show & Tell events. Held at the beginning and end of each residency
period, the presentations gave residents an opportunity to share their work, connect
with each other and the local community.
During our summer workshop program, four free Mingle and Muse events drew
nearly 200 attendees. The Mingle and Muse lecture series featured visiting artists
and ecologists. These events encouraged viewers to learn more about the work of
accomplished experts and explore the Sitka Center grounds and studios.

In July, a special Mingle and Muse was held at the Lincoln City Cultural Center to
celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Cascade Head Scenic Research Act. A panel
discussion explored the topic of the cultural benefits of the Act. Executive Director of
the Salmon Drift Creek Watershed Council Catherine Pruett, moderated the discussion.
Other participants included: Sitka Center co-founder Frank Boyden, artist Deb DeWit,
Project Director of the Spring Creek Project at OSU Charles Goodrich, and retired
USDA Forest Service Ecologist Sarah Greene.
In 2014, Sitka offered a unique music presentation with past recorder resident
Annette Bauer and fellow Cirque du Soleil bandmate Joshua Geisler.
In September, the Lincoln City Chamber of Commerce hosted a “Business After
Hours” at Sitka, helping to further connect us to our local business community.
In June and July, artwork by 12 artists who also teach at Sitka were featured during an
exhibit at the Chessman Gallery in the Lincoln City Cultural Center. This exhibit
showcased a variety of mediums and shared a snapshot of Sitka’s summer workshop
program with the 3,300 visitors.

Overall we held nine events at Sitka, two at the Lincoln City Cultural Center and the
Sitka Art Invitational in Portland, engaging more than 5,700 people throughout 2014.
Thank you to the 175 volunteers and 37 sponsors that helped make these events a success!

SITKA CENTER FOR ART AND ECOLOGY
In 2014, Sitka replaced the 40-year-old Tree House and Bunk House with a new, energy-efficient living space, studio and public
restroom. The building was designed by Boora Architects and built by Quade Commercial Construction Corporation. Construction
began in October 2014 and was completed in February 2015. This project was funded in part by M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust, The
Collins Foundation, and the Oregon Cultural Trust. Thank you everyone for making this possible.
