Juneau, Alaska (KINY) – Artists who love capturing the natural world while giving back to the land have a one-of-a-kind opportunity to combine both passions into one program.
Interested creative types are encouraged to apply for the Voices of the Wilderness Artist-in-Residence Program in Alaska during the 2024 summer season.
Applications for the program are being accepted now through March 1. To download an application, visit: http://www.fs.usda.gov/goto/votw.
The program is Alaska-based and is open to artists from anywhere in the world. These talented folks are partnered with a Wilderness specialist to participate in research or stewardship projects while creating art in unique places in the state. An artist’s final artwork is often used in environmental, educational, or promotional materials to help others learn more about the value of these wild public lands.
This year’s program features nine Wilderness sites and includes areas managed by the USDA Forest Service, National Park Service, and U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. It is open to all types of artists, from visual to audio, performance art and more.
Apply now to experience the Wilderness and use creativity to share art inspired by Alaska’s National Forests and other public lands.
