GRANT REQUIREMENTS: Any artist working in any medium, digital or analog, including writing of any type, and performance art of any type are accepted. Any site-specific work involving reversible changes to the landscape is usually not permitted. 

ELIGIBLE: All of NPAF’s Call for Entry opportunities accept submissions from national and international artists, writers, and performance artists. Old work, new work, experimental work, even previously submitted applications to other NPAF residencies are accepted, as the selection panel changes with every opportunity. 

FUNDS: The stipend may be used in any way the artist chooses but is paid after the residency. Reimbursement will require an official NPAF reimbursement form and receipts from the artist(s). The chosen resident must be able to cover travel, equipment, and food costs during the period of residency. Review more details regarding grant funds on our FAQ pages for each residency. 

INSURANCE: The artist and their companions are responsible for themselves to be fully insured and in time for the residency. Neither NPAF nor the NPS are responsible and will not cover any damages to the artist(s), property, or anything during the term of the residency or public engagements.

AGREEMENT: NPAF Artist(s) in Residence may be required to agree to and sign other agreements in order to fulfill the residency obligations and receive funding and grants. These may involve permitting, visas, adhering to park policies, and events / presentations. Artists also agree to allow NPAF to use their application materials, their work, and image in any promotions for NPAF or its partners or affiliates. Submission to any of our residencies indicates acceptance of these terms and requirements, so read them carefully.
