Artists have had a long-standing impact on the formation, expansion and direction of our country’s national parks. Musicians, composers, painters, writers, sculptors and other performing artists also draw upon the multifaceted quality of parks for inspiration. All of these artists translate the national park’s purpose, as a place of pleasure and preservation, into images which bring others enjoyment and a deeper understanding of the parks some may never visit. Rocky Mountain National Park’s Artist-In-Residence program provides artists the opportunity to become a part of a long established tradition of artists in our national parks.

艺术家们对我们国家公园的形成、拓展和发展方向一直有着长期的深远影响。 音乐家、作曲家、画家、作家、雕塑家和其他表演艺术家也从国家公园的多重魅力中汲取灵感。 所有这些艺术家都将国家公园作为”愉悦与保护之地“的宗旨，转化为图像，为其他人带来享受，并加深他们对那些或许可能永远不会亲临的公园的理解。 落基山国家公园的艺术家驻留项目为艺术家们提供了参与这一国家公园悠久艺术传统的机会。
