Now in its 47th year, the internationally renowned Bernheim Forest and Arboretum Artist in Residence Program awards up to 4 residencies a year to artists whose art ignites wonder, sparks curiosity, and brings people closer to nature. The program includes a $2500 stipend along with the opportunity to live at Bernheim Forest for six to eight weeks and create site specific work inspired by their immersive experience in the natural environment. Located 25 miles south of Louisville in Clermont, Kentucky, Bernheim maintains over 16,000 acres of wondrous woodlands, meadows, lakes and streams. One residency is always dedicated to an artist currently living in Kentucky or nearby counties in Southern Indiana; and one residency is dedicated to an artist whose work addresses environmental issues and the climate crisis. We encourage visual artists of all mediums, with the broadest range of diverse perspectives and experiences, to become a part of this enduring legacy and apply today.
