​     Rocky Mountain National Park and Rocky Mountain Conservancy are pleased to announce that the 2024 Artists-in-Residence have been selected. Six artists were selected to serve in a two-week residency that will take place between June and September.
 
    Rocky’s first Artist-In-Residence of 2024 is Claudia Borfiga, a visual artist originally from the UK who currently lives in Denver, Colorado. Borfiga works with a variety of visual mediums including paper, textiles and print. During her residency, Borfiga will be focusing on collecting imagery through photographs and drawings that she will later turn into prints.    
 
     During their residency, Rocky’s Artists-In-Residence will host at least two programs open to visitors of all ages. On Thursday, June 13 and Thursday, June 20, Borfiga will be hosting a drop in “Print-a-Card” program at Fall River Visitor Center. Join her anytime between 12 p.m. and 2 p.m. and learn how to hand pull a screen print. Participants will learn about the art of screen printing and will be able to take a print home with them. All supplies are provided and participants do not need any previous knowledge or skills to attend.  
             
     Following Borfiga, Rocky Mountain National Park’s other 2024 Artists-In-Residence are Susan Mockler, a poet.; Garrison Gerard, a composer of electroacoustic and concert music; Kait Evensen, an artist focusing on embroidery and technical illustration; Joe Norman, a sculptor; and Jeremy Shellhorn, a designer/illustrator.
    
     Since the late 1800s, national parks and art have had a special connection. Artists like George Catlin, Thomas Cole, Thomas Moran, Albert Bierstadt and more played a key role in helping to draw attention to the beauty and wonders found in many of our national parks. Recognizing the important role that art has played in the history of our national parks, in 1984, Rocky Mountain National Park was among the first national parks to offer an Artist-In-Residence Program.
 
    This impactful program is generously supported by Rocky Mountain Conservancy. Since 1984, Rocky Mountain National Park has hosted over 200 artists, including authors, painters, poets, composers, sculptors, quilters, photographers, musicians, and more.
