The ten day residencies take place between June and September of next year and the artists selected will be responsible for their own food and travel. Additionally, the position offers no monetary compensation, and the artist is expected to create at least one piece of art and donate it to the park. They are also expected to make one public presentation of the piece they create. In exchange for their work, they'll receive free use of the cabin and access to some of the most spectacular backcountry on the planet, which should serve as fantastic inspiration for their art.

A large cargo-type plane crashed in Alaska on Sunday and burst into a deadly fireball that sparked a forest fire at Denali Nationalpark officials said. Park spokeswoman Kris Fister said there are fatalities, but it's unclear how many because "the plane pretty much disintegrated." The fire is challenging responders, who don't know who owns the multi-engine aircraft, which went down near the park's northern border at 3:15 p.m. No missing planes were immediately reported and military officials have said none of their planes were involved. Clint Johnson with the National Transportation Safety Board said there are a number of large transport planes operating in Alaska. George Clare, of Las Vegas, said he saw the plane flying very low and slowly while he was walking toward the visitor's center near the park entrance. He thought the plane was going to land on a local airstrip, so he proceeded to the visitor's center. Within minutes, people came running in and saying a plane had crashed.
