Beth Shadur received a grant from the Illinois Arts Council to pursue her National Parks Project. This project involves a number of paintings to be exhibited throughout Illinois that investigate the effects of man on the pristine environments of various national parks. Under the grant, Shadur visited five parks in Utah and is creating paintings that look at the impact of climate change, industry, tourism, and fracking, as well as the cultural history of each park.
