Awards to Arizona artists and apprentices to assist in the preservation and maintenance of cultural practices. Eligible uses of funding include travel, materials, and general support of the master artist. Funding is intended to support experienced artists and other experts of cultural traditions to train apprentices in traditional and folk art forms.
SFA Master-Apprentice Award program aims to support those art forms that orient primarily to the transmission and preservation of traditional, heritage-based practices learned informally and most importantly, that are embedded and are reflective of a group/community’s identity and cultural expression repertoire.
The Southwest Folklife Alliance (SFA) Master-Apprentice Artist Award provides direct support for master traditional artists living in Arizona to pass on art, culture, and heritage practices to apprentice learners. The goal of this award is to strengthen the transmission of community-based traditions throughout the Southwestern United States. The Master-Apprentice Artist supports a master artist or tradition bearer to work with a qualified apprentice (or group of apprentices) to engage in a teaching-learning relationship that includes one-on-one mentorship and hands-on experience. The highest priority is to support apprentices to learn from master artists within their own cultural traditions. Funds can be used to help cover artist fees, offset costs of raw materials, and support any travel essential to the exchange.
Applicants include a wide variety of artists, including those working in traditions including, but not limited to:
Preference is given to artforms or cultural communities not currently being supported by SFA.
