2020 Application Season is Open!
It's time to apply for the summer 2020 Voices of the Wilderness Alaskan Artist-in-Residence Program. Sponsored by the US Forest Service, the National Park Service and the US Fish & Wildlife Service.
The Voices of the Wilderness artist residency is a unique opportunity. It is modeled after traditional residencies in the national parks…with a twist. Instead of staying at a remote wilderness cabin, our participating artists are paired with a wilderness ranger and actively engaged in stewardship projects, such as research, monitoring, and education. The idea is to give artists a sense of the stewardship 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.
