About the Zion Artist-in-Residence Program Zion Artists-in-Residence live and work in the majestic desert environment of Southern Utah for one month. The program provides artists with park housing at no cost to them.
To benefit park visitors and the local community, the Artists in Residence present two public programs tailored to their medium, interest, experience, and audience. Zion also encourages artists to host open studio hours or interact with visitors on or near trailheads. No more than six months after leaving Zion, the Artist in Residence submits an original piece of work inspired by their visit. The art may be added to the park's permanent museum or interpretive collections or, in partnership with the Zion National Park Forever Project, may be used to financially support the Artist-in-Residence Program.
Learn more about the selection process and see past artists’ work on Zion National Park’s website.
