Medford, Ore. – The Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument (CSNM) is accepting applications from February 11 – March 15, 2019 for its summer Artist-in-Residence (AiR) program. Selected artists are provided with a beautiful environment in which to generate artistic works and share their works with the public.
Artistic expertise, professionalism, and creative uses of artistic media are encouraged. Selected artists receive a one- to two-week residency at CSNM facilities during the summer. All artists are encouraged to apply for CSNM’s 3rd AiR program and will be given equal consideration.
During their stay, artists share their vision in one public presentation. Following their residency, artists donate at least one digital image of their completed artwork to CSNM. CSNM holds a publishing copyright to donated digital imagery for promotional use to advance the AiR program. The artist retains a non-exclusive use copyright.
Three artists and two alternates will be selected to participate June, July and August 2019. Selections are made on the basis of the following criteria: entry materials, residency proposal, professionalism, and creative vision.
Interested visual artists may obtain more information and download an application and guidelines by accessing the AiR website at: https://www.blm.gov/get-involved/artist-in-residence/about-the-program, or by contacting Christine Beekman at cmbeekman@blm.gov or (541) 618-2320.
