Gran The National Park Service, California State Parks and Redwood Parks Conservancy coordinates and delivers the parks' Artist-in-Residence program. The program provides an opportunity for eligible artists to spend between two to four weeks at Redwood National and State Parks to pursue their particular art form while surrounded by the awe-inspiring landscape of the parks. The program provides access to work on projects in one of the most inspirational places on Earth. Writers, sculptors, photographers, painters, dancers, cinematographers, musicians, composers, and other visual and performing artists may apply for this opportunity to draw upon the multifaceted qualities of the park for inspiration. All of these artists translate the national park's purpose--as a place of pleasure and preservation--into creations that bring others enjoyment and deeper understanding. During the residency, the artists will be given time and opportunities to find inspiration throughout the park. There will also be opportunities to interact with park staff and the public. As part of the program, the artist will be expected to provide at least one public presentation and appear at one reception for community members. This is to help the next generation of artists see the parks through new perspectives. The residency includes a stipend and accomodations in park housing. Work is performed independently during the residency and applicants should be aware that there is no studio space available.
