West Branch, Iowa— Herbert Hoover National Historic Site seeks artists for the national park’s 2019 Artist-in-Residence Program. This year, the park is looking for a graphic designer, videographer, or photographer to create digital content— photos, videos, illustrations, or infographics— that can used in online or print media.
The Artist-in-Residence Program is open to professional American artists whose work can be inspired by the stories and historic features of Herbert Hoover National Historic Site. The residency lasts eight weeks during the months of June, July, and August. The artist lodges in one of the park’s historic houses.
The application period closes on Tuesday, January 15, 2019. For details about the Artist-in-Residence Program and how to apply, visit the park’s website, www.nps.gov/herberthoover.
Artists have been part of national parks since the 1870s when famed painters played a vital role in documenting the majestic landscapes of the West. It was through their works of art that many first saw these special places in America. Today artists are working in more than 50 units of the National Park Service through Artist-in-Residence Programs. Works from past Artists-in-Residence at Herbert Hoover National Historic Site are displayed in the park’s visitor center and used in online media and publications.
Herbert Hoover National Historic Site and the Herbert Hoover Presidential Library and Museum are in West Branch, Iowa at exit 254 off I-80. Both are open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Central Time. For more information go online at www.nps.gov/herberthoover or call (319) 643-2541.
