Deadline for Chilkoot Trail Residency

Expand

Artists interested in hiking the Chilkoot Trail in 2021 are invited to apply for a residency sponsored by the Yukon Arts Centre, along with Parks Canada and the U.S. National Park Service.

The 33-mile trail crosses the Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park in Alaska and the Chilkoot Trail National Historic Site in British Columbia.

“Hiking the Chilkoot Trail is pure magic," says a former residency artist, Hilary Lorenz. 

"Being an artist in residence, living on the trail for two weeks, soaking up the history, exploring the landscape, and making art has been one of the best experiences in my life and continues to shape my work well after the residency ended.” 

Artists receive a $3,000 honorarium from the Yukon Arts Centre.

The application deadline is Feb. 3, 2020.
