Crater Lake Announces Summer Art Show

Crater Lake, OR - Art on the Rim, the 8th annual art show to be held at Crater Lake National Park, is scheduled for July 21th and 22th at the Rim Village Community House from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm both days. The artwork featured was created by the park’s recent Artists-in-Residence. The park Artists-in-Residence program, which draws from artists across the country, was launched nine years ago. The work of Paula Fong, TJ Thorne, Cathleen Casey, Kim Faucher, and Matt Witt will be on display.

The park’s Artist-in-Residence program is unique among most residencies around the country in that it encourages both emerging and established artists to participate.

The model used allows artists from many different mediums to be inspired by the splendor of the park and share their work with the public. From watercolor paintings to musical composition, biological illustration, writing, and photography, artists have demonstrated creative approaches to appreciating the national park and its natural and cultural history.

The Crater Lake National Park Artist-in-Residence program is part of the Crater Lake Science and Learning Center and exists thanks to strong collaboration and financial support from park partners such as the Friends of Crater Lake and the Crater Lake Natural History Association. More information about the Artist-in-Residence program can be found on the Science and Learning Center web site: https://www.nps.gov/rlc/craterlake/artist-in-residence.htm.

The Crater Lake Science and Learning Center provides research and educational opportunities to promote the understanding, appreciation and stewardship of our nation’s natural and cultural heritage. It is funded through an endowment from the Oregon Community Foundation made possible from the sale of the Oregon Crater Lake commemorative license plates.
