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. 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.
7th Annual Arts Week 2026: The Space Between
There is strength in what moves underneath, in the hush of process, in the soft roots that link us. In a world that keeps us apart, we turn toward the liminal space, a living network of creative crossings. Here we find connection becoming luminous, tender, and deeply alive. This year, we’re extending that spirit of collective creativity into the wider community by hosting showcases at Ilwaco Cider Co. and the Historic Chinook School.
