Bighorn Canyon Artist-in-Residence Program

Artists are invited to become part of the Bighorn Canyon Artist-in-Residence program. Managed by the Interpretation Division, this program is relatively new to Bighorn Canyon, but not new to the National Park Service. It is one of the longest running programs in the National Park system, and the work completed under this program contributes to the public understanding and appreciation of our national parks, creating a legacy preserved for future generations. To ensure the Artist-in-Residence program helps to promote the fundamental ideas, concepts, and inherent meanings of Bighorn Canyon, it is important that the artists understand the park themes and that their work and programs reflect those themes.
