DESCRIPTION
The purpose of the Joshua Tree National Park Artist-In-Residence & Affiliate Artist Programs is to provide artistic and educational opportunities to promote deeper understanding of and dialogue about the natural, cultural, and historical resources of Joshua Tree National Park and the deserts of Southern California.
The Joshua Tree National Park Artist-In-Residence Program is exclusively owned and operated by the National Park Service and managed in partnership with the Riverside Art Museum. The program offers visual, performing, and literary artists a residency preferably from 2-6 weeks long (special requests are considered on a case-by-case basis).
The Joshua Tree National Park Affiliate Artist Program offers visual, performing, and literary artists an Affiliate Artist status for a one-year period (special requests are considered for longer residencies) to access Joshua Tree National Park for research and development of projects related to the park. The Affiliate Artist program does not provide lodging/accommodations at the Lost Horse Ranger Station, but does support year-round access and/or camping in the park. All selected artists to the Affiliate Artist program will receive a one-year access pass to JTNP and eligibility for a special one-year Individual Artist membership with benefits from the Riverside Art Museum.
TECHNICAL INFORMATION
