Application deadline: November 30, 2022

The annual ‘Artist in Residence’ program is an 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 at events and through social media platforms and print marketing. 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 apply.

Applications will be reviewed by a committee and judged based on the quality of the work and professionalism of the images.

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.  

Sagebrush Steppe Land Trust will be granted the use, at no charge, of select images from the artist 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. One piece of artwork will be donated to the annual year-end fundraiser silent auction.
