Outdoor Writers Association of America (OWAA) 2022 Conference

Time away from distractions is one of the best opportunities a writer (or other artist) can be given, especially when that time is spent in an inspiring location (a place of natural beauty or with access to a variety of outdoor activities) and with some built-in subjects for that artist's work. An artist residency, especially in or near a national park, national forest, or national wildlife refuge, is just such opportunity. This workshop will lead participants through the process of finding an appropriate AIR  (artist-in-residence) program--especially one focused on nature or the outdoors such as a national parks residency or a private residency in or near public lands--and submitting a strong application.
