Arts Week Public Portion @ The Sou'wester Lodge
Mar 14 @ 5:00 pm – Mar 16 @ 1:00 pm

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.

Our special projects classes are intended to complement and add to your throwing skill set by focusing on a single advanced technique. To get the most out of this class we ask that you feel comfortable centering and pulling up cylinders before enrolling.
