Visiting Artis and Writer Programs in Baxter State Park

The selected artists can shed the burdens and responsibilities of modern society for a brief moment while finding truth in nature and practicing their skills with few distractions. The visiting writer program honors the work of writers and the influence they have had on the culture of the Katahdin region. Applications: will be accepted for June 2026 if postmarked by March 15.
