SEASON 2 // EPISODE 1: ART IN THE PARK
/The legacy of art in Mesa Verde
This episode is the first of a two-part story about the legacy of artistic expression at Mesa Verde, a legacy that lives on today.
The human need to express ourselves through art hasn’t changed over time, but the canvas definitely has. Technology has created entirely new art forms - like photography, and technology has provided a new canvas - like Instagram.
While the whole digital world has provided new opportunity for creating and sharing art, some artists are looking for a way to get away from it for a bit, and the National Parks have a solution.
In this episode, we hear from Rosie Carter, one of the 2018 Artists-in-Residence at Mesa Verde National Park, and Teri Paul, Executive Director of the Mesa Verde Museum Association and the supervisor for the Artist-in-Residence program.
