Mountain Air (Artist in Residency)

The Mountain AIR Program is an artist residency developed by the Art in the Libraries Program at WVU Libraries. Building on the pilot residency in 2025, this initiative connects artists with the rich environmental archives held at the West Virginia & Regional History Center (WVRHC) to inspire new creative work and public engagement. By focusing on collections that document decades of environmental activism, conservation efforts, industry impact, and citizen response, this pilot residency supports artistic interpretations that reveal the ecological story of West Virginia.
