NPS Collection
The park's Artist-in-Residence (AIR), program continues a rich heritage of artists who were inspired by the dunes and whose work and words helped move others to preserve this special place along the southern shore of Lake Michigan. The AIR program at Indiana Dunes offers professional artists the opportunity to live along the lakeshore for two weeks giving them uninterrupted time to create art that helps generate increased appreciation and support for the national lakeshore.
In exchange, the artist provides a public program and donates one piece of art created during their stay. The work produced by these artists becomes a permanent part of the park's collection, which will be available for the public to view at various art galleries and other historic locations.
