Artist Fellowships - Native American and Cultures Foundation
"The NACF embraces the notion that Native artists offer profound contributions to intellectual inquiry and community sustainability,says NACF program director Reuben Tomas Roqueni (Yaqui/Mexican). Native artists are at thresholds of exploration in unfolding creative terrains; they are deepening their impact on the field of contemporary arts practice and are forging new recognition in national and global communities. Through the fellowship program, we hope to foster the creativity of Indigenous artists, allowing the opportunity for study, reflection, experimentation, and discovery."

Awards will be $20,000 and will be made in six disciplines: Visual Arts; Filmmaking; Music; Dance; Literature and Traditional Arts. The application deadline is June 21.
