Artist Residencies
The Alaska EPSCoR Interface of Change project offers artist residencies in collaboration with the program.
Artists work alongside scientists and communities to investigate coastal dynamics, maritime livelihoods, and social-ecological well-being.
ITOC is currently reviewing the applications that we received from Alaskan visual artists for the Coastal Transitions artist residency. Thank you to all who applied! We will announce the selected artists in October 2025.
