Lovell, WY: Bighorn Canyon will be taking applications for the 2025 Artist In Residence season. The park is looking for two to four artists to participate in 2025. Applications will be taken from November 15, 2024 to January 31, 2025.
Artists in this program will be able to discover and interpret Bighorn Canyon through their own creative projects. Writers, sculptors, musicians, composers, photographers, painters, culinary and performing artists are all welcome to apply for this program.
To apply, artists must submit a resume and a letter of intent via email to Christy Fleming, Interpretation and Education Division Lead at Christy_Fleming@nps.gov. The letter should include why the artist is interested in helping to preserve Bighorn Canyon’s resources through their work, a rough idea of when the artist is available, one reference, and photos or online links to their work.
Park staff will review the applications in February. Selections are made and announced in March. Specific dates for residences are dependent on housing availability and will be discussed with the artists once they are selected.
For more information about the program, potential participants can visit the website at: https://www.nps.gov/bica/getinvolved/supportyourpark/artist-in-residence.htm.
For questions, please call the Cal S. Taggart Bighorn Canyon Visitor Center at 307-548-5406.
