Pinnacles launched its Artist In Residence program in the Fall of 2008, this is the park’s third residency. This program immerses artists in the serenity and tranquility of a park wilderness setting. Far away from the lights, sounds and distractions of city life, artists can find inspiration in the solitude and the surroundings of the park.
