Contact: Kip Woolford, (928) 524-6228 Ext. 273 Artists have impacted the formation, expansion and direction of our national parks. The work of many artists has also assisted in providing perspectives at parks that create meaningful experiences for our visitors. Today, artists continue to document national park landscapes with contemporary approaches and techniques. Artists from a wide variety of mediums draw upon the multifaceted quality of parks for inspiration. These artists translate the national park's purpose, as a place of pleasure and preservation, into images which bring others enjoyment and a deeper understanding of the parks to many Americans who may never visit. Petrified Forest National Park's Artist-In-Residence Program continues this tradition. Founded in 2006 as part of the Petrified Forest National Park's Centennial Celebration, the program continues to provide inspiration to park visitors. The Artist-In-Residence Program at Petrified Forest National Park offers artists the opportunity to pursue their discipline while being surrounded by the park's inspiring landscape. |
