Darwin Lambert Artist/Writer In Residence Program
Joe Norman Examples 2011 Darwin Lambert Artist-in-Residence Joe Norman's work. For over a century, artists have played an important role in the formation, preservation, and enjoyment of national parks by creating visual records of these unique areas. Their interpretation of the landscape through many types of media connects people to these special places. Many national parks across the country offer Artist-In-Residence programs. These programs are an essential part of the preservation and protection of these public lands. The 2011 Darwin Lambert Artist-in-Residence recipient is Joe Norman. Joe works mainly by sculpting found materials. Often times these materials have lived their 'useful' life and are discarded. NPS PHOTO Artist Kay Malouff designing a stained glass window for the Visitor Center Great Basin National Park has created the Darwin Lambert Artist-Writer In Residence Program in honor of the late Darwin Lambert. As a proponent for the creation of Great Basin National Park and other parks, Lambert authored Great Basin Drama and other literary pieces. The deadline for submissions is March 1, 2012. Selection for the residency will be announced during the second week of April. To view the program guidelines and information for the program, click here.
