Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site
Aspet, built about 1800 as an inn.
Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site features the home and studios of the great sculptor, Augustus Saint-Gaudens
(1848-1907) and is one of only two units of the National Park Service dedicated to a visual artist.
For over twenty years this site has sponsored a sculptor-in-residence program, which is the
longest running artist residency in the Park Service.
Sculpture and grounds.
The sculptor-in-residence is an important part of the site's educational and interpretive program.
Visitors can see how a sculptor works, and also have the opportunity to ask the artist questions.
This has proven extremely helpful in visitors' understanding and appreciation of sculpture
exhibited at the site.
For further information about the sculptor-in-residence position artists may contact Gregory C. Schwarz, Chief of lnterpretation: at (603) 675-2175. Interested artists should also contact the SCA at (603) 543-1700, to obtain an application form.
