An Artist in Residence at HS National Park works on a bathhouse painting.
Hot Springs National Park has selected four artists to participate in the 2022 Artist-in-Residence (AIR) program. Since the program’s inception in 2004, the park has hosted 63 different artists, poets, dancers, musicians, ceramicists, weavers, quilters, photographers, and writers from across the nation.
As part of the program, each artist will complete a 2-week residency at the park, in which they will utilize the natural and cultural resources to inform and inspire their artwork. On the second Thursday of each artist’s residency, an artist reception will be open to the public, from 5-7PM at the Ozark Bathhouse. At the conclusion of their residency, each artist will donate one piece of art to the park.
