Presented in partnership with the Yukon Arts Centre and the Arctic Institute of North America’s Kluane Lake Research Station, the Kluane National Park Artist in Residence Program invites Canadian visual artists to pursue work that brings together science and art through connection with the spectacular landscape of Kluane National Park and Reserve.
Artists are housed at the Kluane Lake Research Station on the shores of Kluane Lake (Lhù’ààn Mânʼ) and are given valuable time to retreat, reflect, and focus on their work with access to researchers, Parks Canada staff and scientists. The residencies allow for exploration of Kluane National Park which is the perfect setting to explore the interplay between science, conservation, and art. Artists have the opportunity to share and connect with people from all over the world.
Visitors have the opportunity to connect with artists through drop-in Artist at Work demonstrations, public workshops and artist presentations.
Applications are now being accepted for 2025!
There are two 2-week residencies available that will occur between late June and August of 2025.
The deadline for applications is February 15, 2024 at 5pm Yukon Time.
