Say hello and goodbye to our scaly brethren! The lunar new year in 2025 transitions from Dragon to Snake in eastern astrology. These have both been powerful archetypes and totems in cultures throughout the world.
Dragon: From the Aztec’s Quetzalcoatl, the feathered wind serpents – The Nidhogg who gnaws at a root of the world tree in Norse legend – Japanese large, wingless, serpentine water deities, Humans have a long history of naming elemental powers and visceral fears.
Snake: Snakes often have a mixed fear and reverence, representing death and renewal, transformation, secrets, and danger. From the Hindu naga, and Greek gorgons, and as a clan animal in America, snakes truly traverse continents and sometimes make their absence felt as with the legend of St. Patrick in Ireland.
The gallery has a preference for large works and an interest in showing more
3D/sculptural work, as well as videos.
How to submit your work: This is a juried show. Please send us an email with photo(s) of your work(s). Include your name, the media used and the size (horizontal” x vertical”).

Residencies at Sitka
Sitka residencies provide time and space for self-paced work and reflection in an inspiring natural setting. Residents from a broad range of art, writing, performance and science-based practices come to Sitka to create and explore away from the familiar contexts and constraints of daily routines, and free from external expectations.
Located within the unique ecosystems of Cascade Head and the
Salmon River Estuary on Oregon’s central coast, Sitka is a place where natural curiosity is sparked, and creativity is unleashed.
Since our founding, we have hosted hundreds of visual artists, photographers, writers, journalists, musicians, composers, filmmakers, educators and a broad range of natural scientists and interdisciplinary creatives. We currently invite 30-50 practitioners to stay at Sitka each year. Some are emerging voices while others are practicing professionals, and our residents represent a diversity of geographies and cultural backgrounds. A range of personal and shared experiences are possible at Sitka, from sanctuary and solitude to cross-pollination and community.
Sitka is committed to equity and welcomes people from diverse cultures, backgrounds and experiences. Bringing together people from different backgrounds and fields of expertise is core to Sitka’s art and ecology mission. From climate change and environmental justice to systemic racism and cultural appropriation, diverse perspectives help spark new ideas and collaborative approaches to address today’s challenges in creative ways.
