Colorado's Artist-in-Residence Program

Boulder Parks & Open Space is currently accepting applications for the 2025 Artist-in-Residence program at Colorado's Caribou Ranch. The deadline is February 17.

Artists of all skill levels and disciplines are welcome. This includes painters, photographers, illustrators, sculptors, writers, and musicians.

Since the program began in 2011, the goal has been for creatives to pursue their work in the inspiring history and nature of Caribou Ranch. 

Selected artists will stay at the ranch's DeLonde Barn up to four days and three nights, at any point between mid-July and September.

This isn't the site of the famous Caribou recording studio, so participants will find different sources of inspiration. 

,According to Boulder County.Gov, there's a variety of landscapes and wildlife, not to mention an old silver mine.
