Commitment to Public PresentationĪrtists are encouraged to interact with park visitors as they work among the natural features of the park. Participants meet with the program coordinator and plan a schedule that permits public interaction in the way that best utilizes the artist's talents and skills, while assuring adequate time to fulfill their personal goals.

Artists will translate the meanings and significance of Badlands National Park into artistic expressions within their chosen art medium.

Writers, composers and all visual and performing artists are invited to interpret this wind-swept environment through their work.
