The Artist in Residence Program at Grand Canyon National Park provides a unique opportunity for visitors to engage with the land, cultures, and histories of the region through emotional, spiritual, and intellectually stimulating contemporary art – including exhibitions, films, performances, workshops, and unique participatory projects.
Artists are selected annually for residence through a competitive application process. A review panel of local arts leaders select artists who can provide world-class educational and interpretive experiences to the community while enjoying the opportunity to work in a location that inspires pure awe.
The Artist in Residence program serves the priorities of the National Park Service’s Department of Interpretation and Resource Education, including inclusive storytelling and climate resiliency, and aims to highlight differing perspectives on this precious natural resource.
Three artists are selected annually. Artists stay on site for 3-10 weeks and receive a stipend, special park access, staff support, and tons of marketing exposure. Deadline for applications is July 15, 2025.
