The Bureau of Land Management has announced that applications are open for the annual Artist-in-Residence program.

A release said the selected artist receives a one-to-two-week residency at CSNM in the month of June. Artists will create work while immersed in a beautiful environment and share their art with the public. All artists are encouraged to apply. There is no preference given to any style or medium.

The program is in its eighth year and has translated the monument’s natural and cultural resources into images, objects and performances.

During their stay, the artist will share their experience and artistic vision in a public presentation. Following the residency, artists are asked to donate an original artwork piece, which they will retain the rights to.

Interested artists can learn more information and get an application at the Artist-in-Residence website: https://www.blm.gov/get-involved/artist-in-residence/air-sites/cascade-siskiyou. Applications must be submitted by February 29th.
