CAMPTON — The White Mountain National Forest and Arts Alliance of Northern New Hampshire invite interested artists in all media to apply for the 2020 WMNF Artist in Residence program, a celebration of the connections between forest, landscape and culture. The deadline for applications is March 15.

Now in its 10th year, the program offers professional and emerging artists in all disciplines from around the country — visual and performing artists, craftspeople, writers, composers, eco, media and social practice artists — an opportunity to pursue their particular art form while being inspired by the surrounding forest and to engage members of the public with their work and artist process. The goal of the residency program is to use art and creative expression to explore the many ways in which people relate to forests, and to the White Mountain National Forest in particular.
