Description
The Native Artist Fellows program, administered by the School for Advanced Research’s Indian Arts Research Center, offers three annual residential fellowships to support both established and emerging Native American artists. The fellowships provide artists with dedicated time, resources, and a supportive environment to explore new creative directions and deepen their artistic practice. Fellows receive a stipend, housing, studio space, supplies allowance, and travel reimbursement, enabling them to focus on their work in fields such as sculpture, painting, basketry, performance, digital art, mixed media, photography, pottery, writing, and film. The program encourages artistic innovation and cultural expression, and each fellowship has specific criteria based on artistic discipline and applicant background.
