Residency for Nature Writers

Artist at Pine Needles residency program

The St. Croix Watershed Research Station seeks applications from artists and writers for the summer 2008 Artist at Pine Needles residency program. The project invites natural history artists or writers to spend 2 to 4 weeks in residence to immerse themselves in a field experience, gather resource materials, and interact with environmental scientists and the local community. Applications will be accepted from writers and visual artists who focus on environmental or natural history topics. Participants will have an opportunity to interact with environmental scientists and to create links between their art, the natural world and the sciences.

Umm... according to the pdf, the application was due Feb 29, 2008. Unless it's been extended, maybe?

Sounds cool, though. Maybe next year?

Bummer...Sorry about that. Maybe I'll leave it up...as you said, for folks to consider ahead of time. Thanks, Dan. :)

Shoot! That's a great opportunity that's been on my radar for a couple years and I should have thought to post it here. It's right in my home watershed and I think would be a lot of fun. Both of you two would enjoy the visit, I'm sure, and I could finally meet you! Anyway, somebody from WL should definitely apply next year.
