SOU’WESTER ARTS WEEK 2025

EMBERS – DARKNESS TO FIRE

PUBLIC PORTION

MARCH 14TH – 16TH

• March 14th at Ilwaco Artworks | 109 1st Ave N, Ilwaco, WA
• March 15th at The Sou’wester | 3728 J Place, Seaview, WA
• March 16th at Wave Preschool | 1306 39th Pl, Seaview, WA

Every March, the Sou’wester hosts over 30 artists and collectives for a weeklong residency, culminating in a weekend of performances, installations, and studio tours — free and open to the public. This annual celebration invites the community to engage with the creative process and connect with artists who bring a new light to the evergreen coast. 

We hope to explore the power of a slow burn—soft yet potent—to illuminate unseen paths and spark transformation in the darkest heart of winter. Art, as a radiant warmth, will draw us closer and inspire renewal as we tend the flames and push forward together.
