Residency
Meg Hunt Artist in Residence: This is one of our most beloved art programs, a two-week artist residency program, a truly immersive creative experience in North America’s largest National Park. The Meg Hunt Artist in Residence Program aims to support artists and writers of all genres and mediums. We invite applicants with creative and inquisitive minds who will both add to and benefit from the interdisciplinary efforts at our community hub in McCarthy, Alaska and the surrounding Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve.
