hawai'i volcanoes national park residency 2027

NPAF is now offering Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park residencies, and close to some of the best beaches on the island. For an approximately one-month term in 2027. The residency includes a $4,000 stipend, FREE HOUSING, a studio, an electronic baby grand piano, sound booth, event(s), and publicity.

This residency opportunity is open to Single Artists, Families, Artist Couples, artist collectives, or arts troupes. 

Residency artists will stay at a spacious house just outside the park boundaries. Close to the beaches, 28 miles to Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park Visitors Center. There is a solo recording booth in the house for music, podcast, all sound recording, and an external mixing area. The artist(s) will have the opportunity to offer a public event, reading, concert, or workshop at the National Park, online, or at one of our partnering locations.

We are excited to continue our artist-in-residence program at Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park. The Park boundaries include two legendary and sacred volcanoes, Kīlauea and Mauna Loa, as unique flora and fauna, as well rainforests and mysterious and ever-changing active lava flows. Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park is also an International Biosphere Reserve and a World Heritage Designated Site. This is a unique dramatic environment for all artistic media to flourish and to inspire new breakthroughs in process and result. Possible Art donation through NPAF to NPS Collection at Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park.

2027 Residency Dates: October 6th - 31st, 2027
