The Sou'wester is a vintage trailer motel and lodge in Seaview, Washington. It is a short walk to the sea and adjacent to a wild native forest. They have arts and crafts events throughout the year. For a week the last few years, it is taken over by mostly Portland contemporary artists and musicians. They have a week of residency and a weekend of unfolding the work.
The curation, by artists, of artists, is stellar.
There are performances and events on a schedule from 6PM-10 Friday, and Noon-10 Saturday with other installations and works to attend to on your own throughout. Sunday 10AM-1PM there is a readout of the children collaborating with the resident artists at their preschool 2 blocks away.
