| Created in 1998, the Espy Foundation is a non-profit organization based in Oysterville, Washington and dedicated to advancing and encouraging visual artists, writers, musicians, and all aspects of creativity.
Serving the needs of emerging as well as established writers and artists, the Foundation's core programs include the Residency Program, launched in 1999, and a Humanities and Arts Education Program for secondary school students on Washington's Long Beach Peninsula. In its brief history the Foundation has also built the Espy Library in Oysterville and has plans to build a compound on four more acres in Oysterville including cottages, studios, a larger library, a central kitchen and gathering space.
