Artists-in-residence program offered by BLM

Artists who want to apply for the Bureau of Land Management’s new artist-in-residence program in the White Mountains National Recreation Area must do so by Friday. The BLM will host an artist for a week in April at the Wickersham Creek Trail Shelter in the White Mountains north of Fairbanks. The April 14–18 residence is open to emerging or established artists working in nearly any media — including painting, printmaking, photography, writing and music. The BLM provides transportation between Fairbanks and the cabin, but artists are responsible for their daily expenses. Artists are expected to donate the use of a piece of artwork inspired by their time in the White Mountains to help promote public lands. The BLM plans to offer several residencies annually in different seasons and locations, including another in the White Mountains and a summer residency in the Fortymile region...more

The BLM has artists-in-residence, the FS has quotas, fish get all the water, I've done sprung forward and God bless America or what's left of her.
