The year 2020 may be behind us, but pandemic restrictions remain. We’ve put together a list of upcoming events that includes both live and virtual things to do this week. Get out and roller skate or watch for sea life, or stay in and watch a concert or ballet.

For the last few months, a talented group of artists and scientists have been residing amongst the trees and wildlife to deeply explore their work as Artists and Scientists-in-Residence at the Sitka Center for Art and Ecology. Join the center for the Resident Show & Tell â 4 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 21, 2021 as fall residents share what they have been working on.
Located on Cascade Head on the Oregon Coast just north of Lincoln City, the Sitka Center is an ideal location for artists and scientists to withdraw from the distraction of daily life, find the solitude needed to push through their creative boundaries and chase their artistic pursuits and immerse themselves in natural study and reflection. Sitka Center is proud to host residents from around the world in various stages of their journeys.
