2007 Artist in Residence Carl H. Johnson

Gates of the Arctic is a unique and remote park.  This in turn creates a unique Artist in Residence program.  As you think about your proposal keep the following tips in mind:

• Spend time researching the park before creating a proposal
• Your proposal should explain how the art project will benefit the National Park Service, Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve, and/or the cause of Wilderness 
• Collaborative applications are encouraged but should demonstrate how the collaborative effort is essential to the project proposed
• Be sure your application is complete. Incomplete applications will not be considered.  Use the Checklist (page two of the application)
• Familiarize yourself with the evaluation criteria
