Acadia National Park Invites Five Artists-in-Residence for 2025

Acadia National Park has extended invitations to five artists to participate in its Artist-in-Residence program for 2025. The program, which is a unique opportunity for artists to draw inspiration from the park’s natural beauty, requires each participant to lead an outreach activity for park visitors. This initiative aims to enhance visitors’ experiences and give them a deeper understanding and appreciation of the park through art.

In addition to leading an outreach activity, each artist is also tasked with creating a finished piece of art that will be displayed in the park’s gallery spaces. This gives the artists a platform to showcase their work and the unique perspectives they’ve gained during their residency. The finished pieces will also contribute to the park’s collection of art, which serves as a visual record of the park’s history and evolution.

The artists’ work will not only be displayed in physical gallery spaces but will also be added to a permanent online catalog. This digital platform will allow a wider audience to view and appreciate the artists’ interpretations of the park, extending the reach of the Artist-in-Residence program beyond the park’s boundaries. This move is in line with the park’s commitment to making art accessible to all and promoting a greater appreciation for nature and the environment.
