Starting Monday and continuing through Oct. 14, photographer Jim Schlett will serve as an artist in residence at the Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area.
In 2011, after working as an executive for the U.S. Postal Service in Washington D.C., Schlett “refocused” on his love for photography and America’s national parks. His photographs have been published in the Washington Post, Reston Magazine, Fairfax Times, Elan Magazine, annual reports and newspapers. They have been exhibited in local galleries and art shows and have won numerous competitive awards. One of his images was displayed in the Art Takes Times Square Exhibition in New York City in June 2012.
From 10 a.m. to noon on Saturday, Oct. 12, at Bighorn Canyon’s Lovell visitor center, Schlett will share photos and stories about his past experiences as an artist in residence.
He was the artist in residence at the Whiskeytown National Recreation Area in northern California in 2016. And since 2018, he’s done residencies at several National Park Service locations: Catoctin Mountain in Maryland, Manassas National Battlefield in Virginia, Gettysburg National Military Park in Pennsylvania, Homestead National Monument in Nebraska, Montezuma Castle in Arizona and the Herbert Hoover Historic Site in Iowa.
He has exhibitions scheduled in 2020 with images of the national parks.
Schlett will be Bighorn Canyon’s last artist in residence for 2019. More information about the 2020 application process will be announced in mid-November.
