The Porcupine Mountains Artist-in-Residence program is accepting applications from artists whose work is influenced by the northern wilderness setting of Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park, or "the Porkies," as it is familiarly known.

[Joan Hawley, president of the nonprofit Friends of the Porkies, says,] "At the cabin, they have time to work on their art ... and then within one year, they submit to us one piece of their work. This piece of work ... we display in the visitors' center at the park and then every other year we've started an exhibition," Hawley said. "Our goal would be to raise enough money to build something where we could have a permanent exhibition for this really incredible art work."

The program is open to all art forms, and artists may be asked to demonstrate their art at the Porcupine Mountains Music Festival in August.

Applicants! Don't be fooled! Like the US state of Wyoming or Tasmania, Michigan's Upper Peninsula doesn't exist! You'll be sent to the cornfield! You have been warned!
