The Bureau of Land Management has issued a call for applications for its Artist-in- Residence program at the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument.

The selected artist receives a one-to two-week residency at CSNM in the month of June.

Selected artists will create work while immersed in a beautiful environment and share their art with the public. Applications are welcome from all artists, regardless of style or medium.

Assistant Monument Manager Joel Brumm said, “Artists offer a unique perspective on these remarkable landscapes”. Brumm said, “Their work provides a captivating lens through which we can explore our connection to public lands”.

Now in its ninth year, the Artist-in-Residence program has allowed numerous artists to transform the monument’s natural and cultural resources into visual art, objects and performances.

During their residency, 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.

One artist and one alternate will be selected based on: entry materials, residency proposal, professionalism, and creative vision.
