S.C. State Parks looking for 2023 resident artist
APPLICATION DEADLINE: Wednesday, November 30, 2022
The 2023 South Carolina State Parks Artist-In-Residence program is inviting you to apply!
The Artist-In-Residence program provides artists with the opportunity to gain inspiration from the natural and cultural resources of the South Carolina state parks. The South Carolina State Park Service will provide the use of a cabin to selected participants for a one-week period. Transportation to and from the selected park will be the responsibility of the artist. Artists may also choose to stay in their own camper or RV at the selected park. In return, participating artists in both programs will deliver an original artwork representative of their stay at the park within 90 days of their residency. The original work will be displayed in the cabins and other facilities throughout the park, as deemed appropriate by the park manager. Collaborative proposals will be considered for both programs. These programs are open to South Carolina residents and non-residents.RELATED: More about South Carolina State Parks
