Applicants sought for artist-in-residence program

U.S. Forest Service officials in Juneau are accepting applications through March 1 for the Voices of the Wilderness artist-in-residence program for the summer of 2023.

The program is Alaska-based and open to artists from anywhere in the world. Those selected are partnered with a wilderness specialist to take part in research or stewardship projects while creating art in unique places throughout the state. Each artist’s final artwork is often used in environmental education or promotional materials to help others learn about the value of the state’s wild public lands.

This year’s program features 11 wilderness areas and includes areas managed by the U.S. Forest Service, National Park Service and U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service.  It is open to artists of all types, from visual to audio, performance art and more.
