Weir Farm National Historic Site and Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site recently initiated a project to better understand the current status and opportunities of the National Park Service Artist-in-Residence programs. Both parks are dedicated to visual artists with active Artist-in-Residence (A-I-R) programs.

The Artist-In-Residence Program at Weir Farm National Historic Site selects artists to spend one month living and working at the farm. To date, 115 artists from throughout the United States, as well as Tunisia, Germany, Australia, and India have participated in the AIR Program.

The Weir Farm Art Center (formerly the Weir Farm Trust) manages the Artist-In-Residence program at the park through a five-year renewable cooperative agreement, providing logistical and financial support and program publicity.

Applications are due January 15 and July 15.
