Voices of the Wilderness: Artist Residency
The Voices of the Wilderness artist residency is a unique opportunity. Instead of staying at a remote wilderness cabin, our participating artist are paired with a wilderness specialist and actively engaged in stewardship projecs, such as research, monitoring, and education. The idea is to give artists a sense of the stewarship behind America's public lands, fostering an artistic exploration of these natural and cultural treasures. The hoped-for result is artwork that communicates something of the meaning of these lands.
Residencies open to: Art professionals in all media - visual (two and three dimensional: photographers, sculptors, painters, etc.), audio (musicians, singers, composers), film (video/filmmakers), performance artists, and writers (poets, fiction, essays, storytellers). International artists are welcome to apply.
Residency Period: Typically June through August; dates & length of residencies vary.
Applications are due March 2nd, 2025.
