“We invite you to apply to the 2011 Artsmith Garden Party Artist Residency. The deadline for applications is November 1, 2010, for our upcoming residency the week of February 25 to March 4, 2011.”

The second opportunity is the 2011 Artsmith Literary Contest. The contest theme this year is “Home” and is open to poetry and prose. Tina Schumann, Seattle poet, winner of the 2010 Stephen Dunn Prize in Poetry and author of As If, will judge. The deadline for entries is December 31, 2010.
There is a $5 contest fee. 50% of the proceeds will go to the winner. For full guidelines and to enter, visit: orcasartsmith.org/contest
