The Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument's Artist-in-Residence (AiR) Program allowed professionals the opportunity to express their art while providing an understanding and appreciation of the Monument.The dynamic landscapes of public lands have long been captured by artists and brought to the eye of the public. Artists have been translating public land's purpose as a place of pleasure and preservation since the 1800's.

Artists across the National Park Serivce continue to produce visual records of public lands through many techniques. These captivating and inspiring works provide artistic and educational opportunities to visitors and others by promoting a deeper understanding about the natural, cultural, and historical resources found on public lands.
