The Artist-in-Residence program is a celebrated tradition at Shenandoah National Park, renowned for its stunning landscapes and diverse ecosystems. The selected artists are granted the opportunity to live and work in the park for a period, allowing them to draw inspiration from their surroundings and create art that reflects the park’s unique environment. This program not only benefits the artists but also enhances the park’s cultural heritage and helps visitors engage with the park in new and creative ways.
The selection of the artists is a testament to the diversity and richness of the arts. The chosen seven will bring a variety of artistic disciplines to Shenandoah, providing a unique perspective on the park’s natural and cultural resources. This program continues to uphold the National Park Service’s commitment to preserving and promoting the nation’s natural and cultural resources through the arts.
