Deadline: 16 July 2024
The Ucross Foundation is currently accepting applications for its fellowship program to support the work of contemporary Native American visual artists at all stages in their professional careers.
The Ucross Fellowship for Native American Visual Artists is open to disciplines that include but are not limited to painting, sculpture, printmaking, photography, video, performance art, installation, ceramics, and collaborative projects involving multiple disciplines.
Current work is requested. An applicant’s work sample and project description are the most significant feature of their application. Unless work is interdisciplinary, each applicant is encouraged to apply in a primary discipline and submit a work sample and project description that emphasizes this single discipline. Competition for residencies varies annually and with the number of applications. While only one Fellowship winner will be selected, all applicants to this program will have the option of being considered for a general Ucross residency.
What you will get?
- Two Ucross Fellowships for Native American Visual Artists are awarded each year. Those selected for the fellowship are offered a four-week residency, a stipend of $2,000, and a featured gallery exhibition at Ucross the following year.
Eligibility Criteria
- Residencies are open to Native American visual artists who meet the criteria below. They must:
- Be a practicing contemporary visual artist currently producing works of art in all visual mediums, including but not limited to painting, drawing, mixed media, sculpture, printmaking, photography, video, animation, performance art, installation, and ceramics; and
- An enrolled member of a state-recognized or federally-recognized Tribe, Pueblo, Nation, Native Community, Political Entity, or Alaskan Native Village.
What you have to submit?
- Visual Artwork Sample: Submit 10 IMAGES (in JPEG format, NO PDFs, for work sample) with the file name including title and size, and a DATA SHEET that corresponds to your images (datasheet should include title, medium, size, and year of completion).
