Mary’s Landscape Art Info

As part of the National Park Service’s Artist-in-Residence Program, Whiskeytown National Recreation Area, located in Northern California, is seeking professional artists working in photography, sculpture and painting to participate in the 2011 Residency Program. Artists lucky enough to be selected will have the opportunity to live in an artists’ cabin in Whiskeytown for three weeks, with the goal of producing new works inspired by the park. The park features the Shasta Bally Mountain, oak woodlands, waterfalls, and Whiskeytown Lake. In exchange for the residency, the artists will be asked to give a public presentation and donate a piece of art from their time in Whiskeytown.

For an artist who loves landscape art, this sounds like a wonderful opportunity to create and commune with nature. To apply, artists are asked to submit a resume and exhibition record, statement of intent, sample of artistic works (5-8 images on a CD), and indication of preferred residency dates. Applications are due February 15, 2011 and should be mailed to Whiskeytown National Recreation Area, Attn: Artist-in-Residence Program, P.O. Box 188, Whiskeytown, CA 96095.
