Call for Artists: Reimagine Montana Artist-in-Residence program

The Montana Preservation Alliance (MPA) has extended its search for five artists interested in participating in our Summer 2016 Reimagine Montana Artist-in-Residence program. The deadline for postmarked applications is May 3.

The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) has awarded funding to MPA for Reimagine Montana: National Parks, Historic Landmarks, Trails and Monuments Across Time, a project to support artists in creating artwork for a traveling exhibition. The work will celebrate nationally-significant parks and historic places in Montana by reimagining signature places depicted by artists in the past.

Five artists will be selected for four-week residencies at five settings in Montana. Each will be provided with lodgings and a modest stipend for expenses. By inviting artists to visit such locations and to reimagine their meaning, we support the creation of meaningful new artwork and provide a chance for today's people to reflect on these places and their cultural meaning.

Locations include:
Upper Missouri River Breaks National Monument
Virginia City National Historic Landmark
Butte-Anaconda National Historic Landmark
Glacier National Park
Traveler's Rest State Park National Historic Landmark
