Jack Straw Cultural Center relies on artists, educators, and volunteers to make our programs possible.

Artist opportunities

Jack Straw Artist Residency Programs:

The Jack Straw Artist Support Program, New Media Gallery Program, and Writers Program offer established and emerging artists in diverse disciplines an opportunity to explore the creative use of sound in a professional atmosphere through residencies in our recording studios and participation in our various presentation programs.

Applications for each year’s residency programs are generally available in the summer and due in the fall of the preceding year. All residency program applications are now online, via Submittable. Please contact us at arts@jackstraw.org or 206-634-0919 if this application format is not accessible to you for any reason.

Questions? See our residencies FAQ!

Other opportunities for artists:

In addition to our residency programs, there are plenty of opportunities for artists to work at Jack Straw, through our studio services, becoming a teaching artist for our educational programs, or partnering to present events in our studio or gallery. Drop us a line if you have any ideas or questions!

Volunteer opportunities

We are always on the lookout for new volunteers to help us achieve our mission. Prospective board members, technical and program advisors, and other motivated people with a passion for art and learning are encouraged to contact Executive Director Joan Rabinowitz and/or Administrative Coordinator Levi Fuller.
