Opportunity for Natural History Artist Residency at the Huyck Preserve, Summer 2012
The Huyck Preserve is accepting applications for our COM.EN.ART program for 2012 (PDF Application Link).
COM.EN.ART (COMmunity.ENviroment.ART) is an Artist-in-Residence program for natural history illustrators offered by the Huyck Preserve, a biological field station and 2000-acre nature preserve in the picturesque Hudson Valley hamlet of Rensselaerville, NY.
This two-week residency is designed to provide concentrated field experience and study for illustrators, as well as encourage interaction and discussion about nature among artists, with scientists and with the community. The artists contribute a finished piece of artwork and submit a sketch to the Preserve’s ongoing artists’ sketchbook in exchange for studio and rustic living quarters.
The residencies can take place in June between the 4th and the 24th or in August from the 17th to the 31st. Applications must be postmarked or emailed by March 15, 2012.
