Artists interpret the diverse elements of mountains, dunes, and water - all at Great Sand Dunes NPP.
The Artist in Residence program at Great Sand Dunes NPP offers professional visual artists (fine art painters or sculptors, fine art photographers* or other fine art visual media) the opportunity to spend two weeks in a private efficiency apartment provided by the National Park Service, near the main visitor area of the park. (If preferred, RV/motor home parking with hook-ups, in the park housing area or campground, may be available).
The application procedures and residency dates for 2010 will be announced in Fall 2009.
