Grand Canyon Artist in Residence 2027
About this call
Grand Canyon Conservancy seeks contemporary artists whose work is human-centered and experiential to live and work on-site at the South Rim of Grand Canyon National Park. Three artists will be selected by peer-review panel for a residency of up to eight weeks during 2027. The program favors place-based, immersive, interactive, or participatory practices, and prioritizes artists who explore underrepresented perspectives and narratives. Selected artists receive an US$800 weekly stipend, a US$500 travel subsidy, up to US$300 for project supplies, free accommodations, staff support, and opportunities to engage K-12 students and the public. Applicants must be 18 or older and legally able to work in the U.S. The entry fee is US$25 (waived for Indigenous members of the canyon's 11 associated Tribal Nations).
