National Park College (NPC) instructor Dr. Christopher Thrasher and alumna Abby Hanks
have been published in The Record 2020.
The Record 2020 is a publication through the Garland County Historical Society that contains articles
exploring the heritage of Garland County.
The article, “Paint How a Straight Line Feels: Stories from the Artist-in-Residence
Program at Hot Springs National Park” focuses on the 2004 artist-in-residence program
hosted by the National Park. Artists from all over would travel to Hot Springs to
live in a cabin located in the Gulpha Gorge where they would produce art, host events
and ultimately donate some of their art to the National Park Service. Though the program
was put on hold in 2017 due to repairs, the National Park Service plans to reopen
the cabin in 2021.
