BLM Looking for Dalton Highway Artist-In Residence for This Summer FAIRBANKS, Alaska – The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is accepting applications through June 4 for an Artist-in-Residence who will spend one week this summer on public lands along the Dalton Highway. “The unique and creative ways our previous artists have portrayed public lands have benefited both the public and our staff. We are excited to offer this opportunity,” said Fairbanks District Manager Geoff Beyersdorf. “This will be the third time we’ve hosted an Artist-in-Residence on the Dalton Highway.” The BLM manages 244 miles along the Dalton Highway from the Yukon River to the northern foothills of the Brooks Range. The highway, which provides Alaska’s only road connection between the Interior and the North Slope, passes through some of the country’s most remote and scenic landscapes.
