2026 Artist in Residence: Nan Curtis

Nan Curtis received her MFA from the University of Cincinnati & BA from the College of Wooster. Curtis's practice is interdisciplinary, mining site, home and personal narrative to reframe what can be considered mundane. Major exhibitions include Mira Costa College, San Diego; DiverseWorks, Houston; Tacoma Art Museum; ConsolidatedWorks, Seattle; Linfield College, OR; Portland Institute for Contemporary Art (PICA), Elizabeth Leach, Williamson/Knight, 1430Contemporary, NINE & The Art Gym in Portland.

Nan Curtis was chosen to be our 2026 Artist in Residence because her work is of the highest caliber and she has experience designing and organizing dynamic workshops for post-secondary students. We are excited to welcome her to our community next year.
