Description
The Native Artist Fellows program, administered by the Indian Arts Research Center at the School for Advanced Research (SAR), offers three annual residential fellowships for Native American artists. The fellowships are designed to provide artists with dedicated time, resources, and support to experiment, develop new ideas, and advance their creative practice. Artists from a wide range of disciplines—including sculpture, performance, basketry, painting, printmaking, digital art, mixed media, photography, pottery, writing, and film/video—are encouraged to apply. The program emphasizes artistic exploration, professional development, and engagement with the SAR community.
