Canyon Country District
ARTIST IN RESIDENCE PROGRAM
Through an artist’s perspective, the Canyon Country District Artist in Residence Program’s mission is to inspire, educate, and promote stewardship, that will enhance the understanding and need to protect our public land resources for future generations.
The Moab and Monticello Field Offices will alternate each year hosting the Artist in Residence program. The 2023 residency will be hosted by the Monticello Field Office and is open to visual and written artists. Work completed during the residency must represent Canyon Country District with a focus on the Monticello Field Office/Bears Ears National Monument.
Although not defined, management may request artist to focus on an area or theme within the field office boundaries to bring awareness to District goals or objectives.

During the residency, they explored public lands in the Moab area, visited with BLM subject matter experts, and sought inspiration for new work. Walck’s piece - developed during the residency - will be on display at a later date. The location and date of availability will be announced on the BLM Moab and Canyon Country Facebook page.
