Artist-In-Residence
Program, 2002 Season
Artists have had a long-standing impact
on the formation, expansion and direction of this country's
national parks. Painters of today continue to document the
landscapes of the national parks. Writers, journalists, musicians,
composers, and other performing artists also draw upon the
multifaceted quality of parks for inspiration. All of these
artists translate the national park's purpose, as a place
of pleasure and preservation, into images which bring others
an enjoyment of the parks they may never visit. Rocky Mountain
National Park's Artist-in-Residence (AIR) program offers professional
writers, composers, and visual and performing artists the
opportunity to pursue their particular art form while being
surrounded by the inspiring landscape of Rocky Mountain National
Park.
In return, participating artists are asked
to donate to the park an original piece of work representative
of their artistic medium and two week stay. They are also
asked to provide the copyright to the National Park Service.
