artist in residence

The Artist in Residence program is a voluntary agreement between an artist and the Sagebrush Steppe Land Trust, where the artist agrees to tell the story and mission of the Land Trust through artistic mediums and the Land Trust agrees to promote the artist through social media platforms and print marketing.

Sagebrush Steppe Land Trust will be granted the use, at no charge, of the artists images for promotional and marketing purposes. The Artist in Residence is expected to complete a body of work to be exhibited at the annual year-end fundraiser. 

The Artist in Residence is granted the opportunity to participate in events the Sagebrush Steppe Land Trust hosts or attends (i.e. Bill Davidson Memorial BBQ, Farmer’s Market, First Friday Art Walk, Annual Holiday Party, etc.). The artists’ work will be promoted on Land Trust social media accounts and in print marketing (including the Spring and Fall newsletters).

The Artist in Residence is encouraged to participate in the annual monitoring of conservation easement and fee-title properties. Monitoring begins in the spring and ends in early fall. If the artist cannot attend the regularly scheduled monitoring day, Sagebrush Steppe will provide directions and obtain permission for the artist to view the properties on their own. Attending monitoring visits gives the artist access to lands not open to the public, an opportunity to learn more about the importance of conservation, and opportunities for artistic inspiration.    

The Sagebrush Steppe Land Trust looks to partner with local artists across the visual arts mediums: painters, illustrators, photographers, sculptors, videographers, ceramic artists and more are invited to inquire by contacting us at admin@sagebrushlandtrust.org
