The National Parks Service, in conjunction with the Riverside Art Museum, is currently accepting applications for the Joshua Tree National Park Artist-in-Residence Program. The deadline is Wednesday, July 15, 2009. Applications must be postmarked by July 15th.
The Artist-in-Residence (AIR) Program is open to visual, performing, and literary artists. Resident artists will reside at the Lost Horse Ranger Station at Joshua Tree National Park (JTNP) for a period of 2 to 6 weeks and will have the opportunity to create a body of work that promotes a “deeper understanding of and dialogue about the natural, cultural and historical resources of Joshua Tree National Park and the deserts of Southern California.”
Artists interested in the AIR Program also have the option of applying to the Joshua Tree National Park Affiliate Artist Program. Affiliate Artists will have year-round access to the park and access to free camping within the park. Affiliate Artists are not provided with housing and are responsible for all supplies and travel-related expenses.
Complete details and an application can be viewed at JTNP Artist-in-Residence & Affiliate Artist Programs.
