Denali Accepting Applications for 2020 Artist-in-Residence Program

Date: June 14, 2019
Contact: Cinnamon Dockham, (907) 6833-9532

Denali National Park and Preserve is seeking a diverse suite of voices to help share the unique story of Denali through art. Alaska Native artists are strongly encouraged to apply.
 
The Artist-in-Residence program is dedicated to exploring new ways for visitors to experience the park; from hundreds of competitive applications each year, about a half-dozen accomplished artists, writers and composers are invited by the park superintendent to spend time in one of the park’s historic ranger patrol cabins in the park. Travel to the park is the artist’s responsibility.
 
During their residencies, artists are required to lead a public outreach activity and may be asked to donate a finished work to the program collection. Artists are challenged to create works that convey a fresh and innovative perspective of Denali drawn from direct experience. Artists are also encouraged to provide additional outreach when they return to their homes.
 
Applications are accepted only through an online process hosted by CaFÉ (CallForEntry.org). Entries are accepted each year from May 1 through September 30 for residencies during the summer of the following year. Applications submitted after the deadline will not be considered. Artists unable to apply using the CaFÉ system should contact the program administrator.
