About the Residency Program
Grand Canyon Conservancy’s award-winning residency program invites artists, scientists, historians, and educators to live on-site, pursue place-based research while engaging the public in meaningful programs and projects that deepen our understanding of the rich environmental, spiritual, and cultural impact Grand Canyon has on the world.
Grand Canyon Conservancy’s Residency Program focuses on creative interpretation and resource education through three residency tracts:
- Artist in Residence: For contemporary artists who make interactive (immersive and/or participatory) work that shapes how people experience place.
- Astronomer in Residence: For astronomers from any discipline who wish to share their knowledge and enthusiasm for dark skies.
- Environmental Educator in Residence: For educators who use unique and inspiring methods to pique curiosity, prompt exploration, and develop knowledge of the world around us.
Grand Canyon Conservancy is the official nonprofit partner of Grand Canyon National Park.
Applicants must confirm that, if hired, they will reside and work within a five-hour drive of the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, as approximately 16 hours per month are spent on-site at Grand Canyon National Park or in the field. When working outside GCC’s main office at GCNP, temporary housing will be provided at no cost.
