\u00a0 \u00a0 Rocky Mountain National Park and the Rocky Mountain Conservancy are pleased to announce that the park\u2019s Artist-In-Residence program will begin accepting applications for the summer 2025 season on Sunday, December 1, 2024. RMNP\u2019s Artist-in-Residence program is open to artists of all creative disciplines and genres. Interested artists are invited to apply.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Art has played a major role in the creation of our national parks and in the preservation of our country\u2019s wild spaces. Since the 1800s, artistic works have inspired people to travel, dream, explore, and visit their national parks and other public lands. Artist-in-Residence programs provide opportunities for artists to connect with our national parks and to gain inspiration for the creation of new artistic works. Rocky Mountain National Park, in partnership with the Rocky Mountain Conservancy, is one of over 50 National Park Service sites that currently host an Artist-In-Residence program.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Selected artists will serve in a two-week residency within Rocky Mountain National Park. During their residency, selected artists will reside in a rustic cabin located inside RMNP where the artists can gain inspiration and create artistic works. Participating artists will also host and facilitate at least two free public programs for audiences of all ages.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Applications for the summer 2025 program will be accepted beginning on December 1 and will close at 11:59 p.m. MST on January 31, 2025. For all details on application requirements and how to apply, visit\u00a0Rocky Mountain National Park\u2019s Artist-in-Residence webpage at\u00a0https:\/\/go.nps.gov\/romo\/air<\/a><\/u><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Applications will be reviewed by a panel of judges. The panel will select at least five artists to participate in the 2025 Artist-in-Residence program. Selected artists will be notified in April and upon selection they will be able to choose a desired time block for their two-week residency from a list of available options.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Established in 1984, RMNP was one of the first national parks to create an Artist-In-Residence program. This program was on hiatus from 2017-2023 while the program was being restructured. Over the past 30+ years, program participants have included painters, fiction writers, poets, photographers, textile artists, composers, sculptors, musicians, and more!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Selected artists will stay at the William Allen White Cabin, a rustic, historic cabin located near Moraine Park. During their two-week residency, artists will have the opportunity to explore the park, gain inspiration, share their art with the public, and create new works. At the completion of their residency, the artists will donate a fully furnished piece of work representative of their stay to the Rocky Mountain Conservancy. Rocky Mountain Conservancy will hold the rights to the piece of work and the National Park Service will have the rights to share the donated works with the public.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
