2014 NACF Artist Fellowships
 
 
by press release

Each year, the Native Arts and Cultures Foundation awards NACF Artist Fellowships to honor American Indian, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian artists making a significant impact in their discipline and who have the potential to be or already are powerful voices in the arts.

From a national call for entries, peer panels select the year's top entries in the disciplines of Dance, Film, Literature, Music, Traditional and Visual Arts. Fellowships provide Native artists the opportunity for study, reflection, experimentation and discovery, with awards of up to $20,000 per artist.
