Artist-in-Residence
The Mission
“To offer residencies to new and established artists of recognized excellence from around the world to pursue their creative process in a wilderness environment.”
Volunteers Needed
We are looking for volunteers for the AIRP committee, including a couple of volunteers to lead the committee. If you have an interest in art - we'd love to talk with you to discuss these volunteer opportunities.
If you are interested in either of these opportunities, please email [email protected] with a brief description of your background and why you'd like to be considered.
Artist Programs
The Artist-in-Residence program at Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park is open to artists and artisans whose work can be influenced by this unique northern wilderness setting. It offers writers, composers, and all visual and performing artists and artisans the opportunity to experience the natural beauty of the Porkies and express it through their particular art form. As part of the Artist Residency, the artists will provide a public presentation demonstrating some aspect of their art.
If you have any problems using the Google forms, please contact us. Applications are due by 11:59pm EST, February 14th, 2025 - late submissions will not be accepted.
