Caldera Fee based Artists in Residence - Spring 2026

Caldera's mission is to inspire and support youth from historically underserved urban and rural communities by awakening the potential of their creative voice. Through our residency programs, Caldera supports artists, creatives, and cultural workers to build skills, relationships, and projects that inspire growth, combat oppression, and activate change. Residents draw inspiration from the residency community and the natural world surrounding Caldera in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains. Our newly launched fee based residency is open to U.S.-based creatives and cultural workers in any discipline. Artists at any stage of their careers are eligible to apply. Revenue from the fee based residency supports our other AiR and youth programming. Fee for the 12-day residency is $1800. Residents will receive private lodging, studio space, and both a welcome and farewell community dinner prepared by local chefs. Please note: transportation to and from the residency site is not provided by Caldera.
