Atlas Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score 58/100. Valid Arizona state-administered funded residency with clear official eligibility, stipend, materials support, application method, and exact deadline. N9+ Fit Score 0/100 and QC Healthcare direct-vendor fit 0/100 because the opportunity is an individual artist residency rather than a healthcare, clinical technology, or organizational procurement program.
Current status: Open.
The Arizona State Parks Artist Residency Program, administered jointly by Arizona State Parks and Trails and the Arizona Commission on the Arts, is accepting applications for two Spring 2027 residencies at Oracle State Park and Rockin’ River Ranch State Park.
Funding: Each selected resident receives a $5,000 artist stipend plus up to $1,000 in reimbursable materials support. On-site housing and workspace are also provided by the host park.
Deadline: October 1, 2026 at 11:59 PM MST, as stated in the official Arizona Commission on the Arts application portal.
Eligibility: Applicants must be Arizona residents, at least 18 years old, practicing artists or creatives in an eligible discipline, and must not have received a residency through this program within the past five years.
Program dates: Oracle State Park: April 17-May 1, 2027. Rockin’ River Ranch State Park: May 10-May 23, 2027.
Application: Applications are submitted through SurveyMonkey Apply. Applicants interested in both parks must submit a separate application for each park. Required materials include narrative responses and recent work samples in an allowed format.
Atlas assessment: Legitimate Arizona state-administered arts funding opportunity. Atlas fit is moderate because the opportunity is individual-artist focused rather than healthcare or organizational grant funding. N9+ and QC Healthcare direct-vendor fit are not established and should not be forced. No original organizational outreach is appropriate for this individual-only opportunity.
