Congratulations to the four participants in the Artist-in-Residence (AiR) program at Capitol Reef National Park in 2019.

The goal of this program is to share artistic expression of National Parks like Capitol Reef.

• Virginia Catherall, Textile Artist - September 3 to October 1, 2019

During each artist’s time in the park, they will be producing work and offering free programs to the public. Those programs, with location, date, and time, will be posted on the park’s web and Facebook page. Check out the webpage to learn more about each of the artists and the program at https://www.nps.gov/care/getinvolved/artist-in-residence.htm.
