Artist-in-Residence in USA National Parks

Here's something for landscape painters in the US. Did you know that 29 national parks run artist-in-residence programmes? These offer "opportunities for two-dimensional visual artists, photographers, sculptors, performers, writers, composers, and craft artists to live and work in the parks."
