Rocky Mountain National Park and the Rocky Mountain Conservancy are pleased to announce that the park’s Artist-In-Residence program will begin accepting applications for the summer 2025 season on Sunday, December 1, 2024.

RMNP’s Artist-in-Residence program is open to artists of all creative disciplines and genres. Interested artists are invited to apply.

Art has played a major role in the creation of our national parks and in the preservation of our country’s wild spaces. Since the 1800s, artistic works have inspired people to travel, dream, explore, and visit their national parks and other public lands. Artist-in-Residence programs provide opportunities for artists to connect with our national parks and to gain inspiration for the creation of new artistic works.

Selected artists will serve in a two-week residency within Rocky Mountain National Park. During their residency, selected artists will reside in a rustic cabin located inside RMNP where the artists can gain inspiration and create artistic works. Participating artists will also host and facilitate at least two free public programs for audiences of all ages.

Applications for the summer 2025 program will be accepted beginning on December 1 and will close at 11:59 p.m. MST on January 31, 2025. For all details on application requirements and how to apply, visit Rocky Mountain National Park’s Artist-in-Residence webpage at https://go.nps.gov/romo/air

Applications will be reviewed by a panel of judges. The panel will select at least five artists to participate in the 2025 Artist-in-Residence program. Selected artists will be notified in April and upon selection they will be able to choose a desired time block for their two-week residency from a list of available options.
