Grand Canyon Residency: deadline July 31

Grand Canyon National Park announces a new year-round artist- in-residence program at the South Rim in conjunction with the well-established seasonal artist-in-residency program at the North Rim. Artists must submit their applications for the
South Rim postmarked by July 31, 2009. No honorarium is available at this time to off-set the expenses that the artists accrue while in residence. Currently both programs on both rims provide a furnished living space, focused studio time, and public outreach and presentation opportunities for selected artists. AiR artist proposals should be site-specific to Grand Canyon National Park, support the park’s Interpretative Themes, and will focus on such issues as ecology, the environment, park advocacy, conservation and other themes relevant to the parks. Selected participants will be notified by mid-August. For more information please contact Rene Westbrook at 928-638-7090 or Rene_Westbrook@nps.gov.
