Artist in residency taking applications
Applications are being accepted by the Bureau of Land Management for an artist in residency at Canyons of the Ancients National Monument.
Winning proposals should promote an appreciation of the landscape, raise awareness of its unique value and inspire conduct that helps preserve its fragile resources.
Two people will spend at least one week developing artwork inspired by and representative of the monument.
At the end of the residency, each artist will present a program to provide opportunities for the public to learn about their artwork and the value of public lands. The artists also will donate at least one digital image of their completed artwork to the BLM. The copyright will remain with the artists with permission granted to the BLM for promotional and educational reproduction.
Resident-artists must provide their own lodging or shelter. Applicants with vehicles such as campers or RVs are welcome. There are no developed campgrounds, water or electricity available within Canyons of the Ancients National Monument, although dispersed camping is allowed in most locations. The staff can help artists with finding a suitable location for a base camp.
The program provides quality, uninterrupted time for artists to pursue their work. Informal interaction with Monument visitors and the artist’s public presentation at the end of the residency provide opportunities for learning and dialogue about the value of public lands resources.
Proposals must be submitted by May 16.
