Voices of the Wilderness Artist Residency-2012 Applications Being Accepted
The summer of 2012 marks the third year of the Voices of the Wilderness artist residency program. Residency programs are held on both the Chugach and Tongass National Forests in Alaska and take place at various times from June through September. The program is open to artists and art professionals in all media – visual (two and three dimensional: photographers, sculptors, painters), audio (musicians, singers, composers), film (video/filmmakers), and writers (poets, fiction, essays, storytellers). Participating artists are paired with a wilderness ranger and actively engage in stewardship projects, such as research, monitoring, and education. The idea is to give artists a sense of the stewardship behind America’s public lands, fostering an artistic exploration of these natural and cultural treasures.
