Bighorn Canyon is in its sixth year of the Artists in Residence program.  Twenty-five artists from around the country and locally, applied for the Bighorn Canyon AIR program. Four amazing artists were selected.  “Every year we get more applications and every year the decision is harder. We would have loved to host all of the artists, but we just don’t have the accommodations,” said Chief of Interpretation Christy Fleming.  Each artist will spend two weeks at Bighorn Canyon focusing on their work. At least one day during their stay has been set aside for the artists to give public programs and to share and talk about their work.  

The artists selected for the 2019 Bighorn Canyon Artist In Residence program are Jonathan Lisonbee of Magna, UT; Jim Schlett of Reston, VA; Susan Kane of Littleton, CO and  Bobbie Brown of Lovell, WY.  Their combined portfolio will allow visitors to learn more about photography, acrylic and water color painting.  The artists will be in the park in April, May, August, September and October.  

Bighorn Canyon will announce and would like to invite all of the local and visiting artists to come out during the public programs, set up an easel, create art, share technics, and just be inspired by the Bighorn Canyon setting.
