The Isle Royale Program

Each summer, this program provides three to four artists a two to three week immersion in Isle Royale's wilderness environment. This immersion provides time for the artist to connect to the many moods that only a north woods wilderness can provide.

Program Requirements

• Selected artists will be park volunteers.
• Selected artists must donate a piece of artwork representative of their stay on Isle Royale within one year of their experience. The donated piece will offer the public an opportunity to experience our national heritage through the artist's unique interpretation of Isle Royale.
• Selected artists may present one public program. The presentation will depend on the artists' medium, interests, experience, and the ability of rangers in Rock Harbor to assist. Low-tech is better.
