Artist-in-Residence Program – Call for Artists
We will foster creative
expression through an artist-in-residence program that seeks to tell the stories of the forest during
the 2023 Allegheny National Forest Centennial and beyond.

About the residency
• As a pilot of the program one residency opportunity of two weeks will be offered during
January 17 – 31, 2023, in Allegheny National Forest. We hope to continue the program
by offering one residency during the spring, summer, and autumn of 2023.
• Program goals:
o Provide learning opportunities for the public
o Help our local communities explore the connections between public lands, nature,

our use of natural resources, and our emotional ties to natural beauty through self-
expression.
