SWAIA FELLOWSHIP APPLICATION NOW AVAILABLE
American Indian Artists Will Receive $5000 in ‘07
Santa Fe, NM – The Southwestern Association for Indian Arts ( SWAIA ) is pleased to announce that the applications for the 2007 Native American Artist Fellowship Program are now available. American Indian artists, age 18 and over, are encouraged to apply. Completed applications must be postmarked or hand delivered to the SWAIA offices no later than 5:00 PM, February 2, 2007 in order to be eligible.
The SWAIA Fellowship program supports the careers of Native American artists by providing a $5000 award to assist with supplies and career development, as well as a complimentary exhibit space at the world famous Santa Fe Indian Market. In addition to the form itself, applicants must provide a résumé, current slides, and documentation of enrollment with a federally recognized, United States tribe (further instructions can be found on the application). There is no fee to apply. Fellowships are awarded to artists from a broad range of artistic backgrounds and past recipients read like a who’s who in Native American art.
Programs Coordinator Caren Gala encourages all Native artists to apply. She notes, “The Fellowship Program is unique in that it’s one of only a handful in the country created to support American Indian artists. Thanks to our generous sponsors, each recipient will receive $5000 in 2007 to grow their talent and career. This marks a substantial increase from what used to be given.”
