The Denali Artist-In-Residence program is made possible through a partnership between the National Park Service and Alaska Geographic.
Denali Artist-in-Residence Program
The Denali Artist-in-Residence program, established in 2001, has grown to include three artists per year who stay in the East Fork Cabin for 10-day residency periods during the summer. The East Fork Cabin is also known as the Murie Cabin, as it was the base from which naturalist Adolph Murie conducted his landmark study of wolves, sheep, and other predator/prey relationships in the Park from 1939-1941.
