Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area
The Bureau of Land Management is pleased to announce the second Artist-in-Residence (AiR) program at Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area (ONA), sponsored through a partnership between Yaquina Head ONA, the Oregon Coast Council for the Arts, and Friends of Yaquina Lighthouses.
The Yaquina Head AiR program, will again focus on attracting artists with an established connection to “place.” Together, sponsors will select one artist to interpret the distinctive resources found at Yaquina Head through their artistic medium. The Spring season is an ideal time to visit Yaquina Head ONA with a bounty of new life in the form of nesting seabirds, seal pups, and migrating whales.
Writers, painters, photographers, sculptors, musicians, composers and performing artists are all encouraged to apply.
Application period is OPEN through midnight April 7th, 2023.
National Conservation Lands, such as Yaquina Head ONA, are designated to conserve special features and provide exceptional opportunities for recreation and scientific research. The selected artist will be expected to work onsite to develop creative products that help promote public stewardship of the unique natural and cultural resources of Yaquina Head ONA.
