For nearly 50 years, Centrum has hosted weeklong workshops in historic Fort Worden State Park that give artists of all ages the opportunity to hone their craft in writing, music, visual arts, dance, and theater. Led by internationally-renowned artistic directors, the faculty, comprised of artists from around the world, share their knowledge, passion, and experience.
While most of our programming is intergenerational we do provide a series of residential learning experiences that serve youth only which is noted by grade level below.
Here is a list of workshops currently accepting registrations. For more information on each of these experiences, please follow the links provided.
