The 2025-2026 Artist in Residence in Everglades Fellows

We're proud to introduce our largest cohort to date, as we launch into our 25th season of bringing artists to the Everglades National Park.

The 2025-2026 Artist in Residence in Everglades Fellows

Join us in welcoming:
Ashia Ajani, The Honourable Elizabeth A. Baker, Daveed Baptiste, Shenny de Los Angeles, Sarah Doerfel & Vincent Scheers, Samuel Dominguez, Laurena Finéus, Havîn Hât, Julius Karoubi, Bex McCharen, Thandeka Mfinyongo, Lee Pivnik, Jewel Rodgers, Sterling Rook, Ackeem Salmon, Jean Shin, Sheherazade Thénard & Coco Villa, and David Rahahę•tih Webb.

We received a record 500 applications from 38 countries for our 2025-2026 residency program. Applications were adjudicated by an esteemed panel of established artists, scholars, curators, and community leaders.

As Everglades National Park Superintendent Pedro Ramos shared, “For 25 years, the AIRIE program has stood as a powerful reminder of the vital connection between art and nature. This milestone celebrates not only the artists who have passed through this program but also the enduring role of our national parks as catalysts for imagination, inquiry, and transformation.”

We’re excited to see how future fellows position their creativity as a catalyst to develop the dialogue their work is creating into tangible change and action.
