Artist-in-Residence Program Opportunities
Currently, the bureau's Artist-in-Residence programs are filled and are not seeking additional artists. When opportunities are announced they will be posted here, so please check this page occasionally for new information and opportunities.
The sites listed below have hosted or are hosting Artist-in-Residence Programs in 2022. Each participating site has its own application process and timeline, so please use the link and information below to learn more about a program.
If you are interested in a BLM-managed area that’s not listed, consider reaching out directly to the site or field office to ask if they have an Artist-in-Residence program or may be planning to start one. A directory of BLM offices is available here.
