Applicants Sought for Artist-In-Residence Program
Applications for the 2009 Artist-in-Residence program at Acadia National Park will be accepted until January 5, 2009.
Artist-In-Residence Program at Acadia
The Artist-In-Residence Program offers professional writers, composers, and all visual and performing artists the opportunity to pursue their particular art form while surrounded by the inspiring landscape of the park. In the spring and fall, the park provides housing to participants for two-week to four-week periods. No additional stipend is available.
In return, participating artists are asked to donate to the park collection a piece of work representative of their style and their stay. These creative works will be displayed on a rotating schedule or shared with the public through other appropriate means during the upcoming seasons. Artists are also asked to participate in one public program per week of their residency such as demonstrations, talks, exploratory hikes, or performances. In the fall, artists work with fourth - eighth grade students. Programs can be tailored to your medium, interests, and experiences, and only consume a few hours of your stay.
How to Apply
Applications for the program are accepted beginning November and must be received by January 15 for consideration for the following season. Notification will be made by April.
There is a $25 non-refundable application fee for applying to the residency. Make checks payable to the National Park Service. Any medium that involves collecting or altering park resources would be in conflict with national park preservation goals and would be deemed inappropriate for a residency.
Please send six copies of the following items:
1. A one- to two-page résumé and summary of creative works.
2. One-page statement stating what you hope to accomplish and achieve during a term as an artist-in-residence at Acadia National Park.
3. Description of public/school presentation.
4. Names and contact information of two references who know your work.
5. An appropriate sample of your recent work (i.e., six slides of different works (or JPEGs) from visual artists; six copies of a brief manuscript excerpt, short story, article, poetry, etc.
6. A self-addressed, stamped envelope for return of sample materials. (Written materials will not be returned.)
