Outpost II: Artists Are In Tents

Signal Fire provides residencies in the Mt. Hood National Forest to selected artists from a range of practices. Each summer we bring the artists out to the forest and provide them with food, maps, a bicycle, battery power and shelter for work and sleep space. Artists are chosen by a panel of past participants.

This year we will be hosting two week-long residencies for eight artists, August 1-7 and 9-15. The artists will stay in large 12x12 wall tents. They will have kitchen supplies and food for self-served breakfast and lunch. Each tent will be set apart from the others, but within a short walk to a base camp. Signal Fire organizers will be at the base camp, available for emergency and unforseen needs. Additionally, dinner will be served for all the artists each evening at the base camp.

The residency will culminate in a group show at a Portland gallery in the fall.

Participants: Sarah Meadows, Robin Moore, Tara Jane O’Neil, Julie Perini
