Artists in all media are invited to apply for the 2012 White Mountain National Forest (WMNF) Artist-in-Residence program
The program, a collaboration between the WMNF and the Arts Alliance of Northern New Hampshire, seeks to highlight the ways the arts can be used to explore and interpret the forest environment and forest-related issues.
The residency offers professional and emerging artists from around the country (visual and performing artists, craftspeople, writers, composers and choreographers, eco artists and media artists) an opportunity to pursue their particular art form while being inspired by the surrounding forest and, on several occasions, sharing their work and their artistic process with members of the public.
Deadline for applications is May 18; the artist selected will choose a period of at least three weeks between July and September to be in residence.
