Call for Artist: EPA Artist-in-Residence Pilot Initiative
In January 2024 The Environmental Protection Agency announced its inaugural Artist-in-Residence Program in collaboration with the National Endowment for the Arts to recognize the profound impact that arts and culture play in shaping our lives, communities and nation. Water leaders are increasingly turning to artists and culture bearers to help bring visibility to water issues, create more inclusive planning processes and leverage infrastructure investments to provide additional benefits to the communities they serve. By launching this pilot artist-in-residence program, EPA is investing in arts and culture to boost engagement, awareness and participation in critical water challenges ranging from aging infrastructure to climate impacts like flooding and storm surge to investment in safe drinking water.
EPA will support artists and culture bearers in six National Estuary and Urban Waters partnership locations that are doing critical work on water restoration and climate resilience.
