Excerpt: “Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument is excited to announce that the application cycle for this year’s Artist-in-Residence Program is currently open! Applications will be open from May 1 through May 16. Interested participants are invited to apply through https://www.volunteer.gov. … This year the Artist-in-Residence Program will run from July 7 through August 8, 2025. The Photographer-in-Residence will be expected to complete a five-week residency while at Salinas Pueblo Missions. The selected artist will also be expected to participate in the park’s scheduled Dark Sky July event and lead a Dark Sky Photography Workshop; lead one guided hike for visitors to introduce the basics of outdoor photography; and host a presentation to park staff and FSPM to showcase their completed portfolio. In turn, the selected artist will have the opportunity to live and practice their chosen discipline in a national park or surrounding community; gain extensive access to park resources to better inform the development of their art; contribute to the park’s and the National Park Service’s photo libraries; and become a key member of the Salinas Pueblo Missions team.”
