The goal of the University of Wisconsin Trout Lake Station artists in residence program is to create collaborative art/humanities and science projects focusing on the long-term ecology of lakes and their surrounding landscapes in Vilas County, Wisconsin. Trout Lake Station is a field site of the North Temperate Lakes-Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) project which is part of a national network studying long term ecological change. Beginning in 2013, we began an individual artist in residence program designed for visual artists, writers, and musicians who have specific interests in exploring the relationship between people, northern lakes, and landscapes, and the long-term scientific investigations of the LTER project.
