The arts have been inspired by the natural world since time immemorial. In recent centuries artists have used their creativity to tell the stories of America’s public lands, often leading to the preservation or conservation of those lands for the greater good.
Through the Artist-in-Residence (AiR) Program, we seek to foster creative expressions that tell the stories of the forest.
The 2026 AiR Program will consist of two residencies. One residency opportunity of three weeks (21 days) will be offered during the summer months (July or August) and one opportunity of three weeks in the fall (September or October) in Allegheny National Forest.
The Artist will designate their preferred time frame for the residency in the application. Dates during the preferred time frame can be flexible.

The Allegheny National Forest is the only national forest in Pennsylvania. It includes 513,175 acres in Elk, Forest, McKean and Warren counties.
